Recipe by TigerJo

This tasty recipe is similar to one I saw on The Food Network. This soup is full of texture, and is not pureed like a traditional Caldo Verde. I often use "no salt added" beans and tomatoes, reduced sodium broth, and rarely need to add extra salt at all, but other folks may want more. We like it with a little sour cream, along with a head of roasted garlic and a hearty loaf of good bread.
