In a large saucepan, combine chicken broth, chorizo, potatoes,
turnips, ham and kale. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer,
covered, for 30 minutes. Add beans and adobo or garlic and oregano;
simmer, covered, for 10 more minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
To put meals on the table, just add a loaf of crusty bread and a
pitcher of vinho verde. This crisp, dry Portuguese wine is perfect
with the smoky flavors of Caldo Verde. With luck, there will be
leftovers. Caldo Verde is a dish that tastes even better on the 2d
day.
