Caldo galego or simply caldo (in Galician), also known as caldo gallego (in Spanish), meaning literally “Galician broth”, is a traditional soup dish from Galicia.^[1] It is similar to caldo verde, very popular in neighboring Portugal.

Ingredients include repolo (cabbage), verzas (collard greens), grelos (rapini), or navizas (sweet turnip greens); potatoes; white beans; and unto (lard). Additionally it can contain fatty pork, chorizo, ham, or bacon (compango).

It is served hot as a starter, often as part of xantar (lunch), and sometimes dinner. Traditionally it was usually served in cuncas (earthen bowls).

Variations[]

Depending on the availability of seasonal ingredients there are several variations:

• Caldo branco includes chickpeas and beans.
• Caldo chirlo or vigueiro
• Caldo de castañas uses chestnuts
