What it is

A hearty and flavorful soup, fundamentally redesigned for keto. The classic potato base is replaced with a smooth cauliflower puree, maintaining the creamy texture while keeping carbs low. It features thinly sliced collard greens (kale) and savory slices of chouriço (Portuguese sausage), simmered with garlic and olive oil.

Key ingredients

Cauliflower, collard greens (kale), chouriço sausage, olive oil, garlic, small amount of onion, salt, black pepper, water/broth.

If you order it anyway

Specifically request a cauliflower base instead of potato. Confirm chouriço has minimal fillers and no added sugar in its preparation. Ensure no additional starchy thickeners are used.

If you order it anyway, say this (Portuguese)

No Caldo Verde, por favor, sem batatas. E confirme que não há farinha ou engrossantes no caldo.

For the Caldo Verde, please ensure no potatoes are added. And confirm no flour or thickeners are used in the broth.

Watch out for

Onion content (though usually small), potential for starchy thickeners or hidden sugars in restaurant soups, some chouriço brands may contain higher carb fillers.
