Warm, hearty caldo gallego is one of our favorite meals during the chilly winter months. We like to serve it with chewy Cuban bread especially.
Caldo Gallego is a traditional Spanish soup dish that impoverished farmers from Galicia have relied on for centuries. It consists of cabbages, potatoes, beans, lard, and turnips. As the years passed, it transitioned from being a poor man’s meal into a staple served in various households.
