Portuguese Bean Soup with Sweet Potatoes - ChefMD® Healthy Recipe

[loladas9]

portuguese soups are delicious, i dont know how kids hate soup in other countries

I've been eating more fruits and vegetables lately. Also, I've been cutting out meat (Gasp!) from my diet. This dish looks amazing. But I'm currently teaching in Korea now, so unfortunately, I don't know if I can get my hands on some Swiss chard or collard greens. Can you recommend any other vegetable for a substitute, please? Keep up the great work!

The traditonal portuguese greens for soup is: collard greens. No bustitution.

- Natural chicken broth from a... can???

- Chili garlic sauce in a portuguese soap, only in your dreams.

- Portuguese bean soup is made with read beans and cale!

@MiguelCJM Yes, kale is more traditional than swiss chard. Sure, it's better to make your chicken broth yourself. And I did have chilies and garlic in caldo verde, and some potatoes and linguica too...but never red beans.

Probably best to say this is Portuguese-inspired...we're going for healthy and updated, to help people eat more of what is better for them, and less of what is not. Soup forever! JL
