The spicy and delicious condiment that peps up mealtimes! Simple to make Gun Powder Chutney uses flax seeds as one of the ingredients. How else do I feed the reluctant family flax seeds?

Clado is a broth or stock and Verde is greens in Portuguese. So we are looking at a soup made with green leafy vegetables. My version is Vegan!
Caldo Verde is a popular soup made in Goan homes thanks to the heavy influence of the Portuguese who ruled Goa for 450 years. Caldo Verde is popular for parties, celebrations weddings etc. Like all soups, it is served before the main course or as a light meal.
Tomorrow, Sylvester my neighbour’s son is getting married. Cannot believe it till yesterday I knew of him as a kid today he is marrying!! There is a ceremony called “Ros” where the bride and the groom are slathered in coconut milk! Something like our “Haldi Ceremony” so before we head out to the ceremony we will have some Soup.
But the reason I m posting this soup now is that I have started blogging with the group Healthy Wealthy Cuisine. This group has some interesting and delicious dishes that tempted me to join them and try my hand at the various dishes they make. This week, the 77HWCG’s it is #SoupyWinter a theme is suggested by @Swaty Malik since winter has made its footfalls in most parts of the world we are happy to showcase some delicious soups.
Here are some made by the members of the group
Potatoes: the main ingredients and thickening agent to this thick soup is the potato.
Greens: traditionally collard greens are used but you can make do with spinach or palak like me here.
Flavouring agents: onions, garlic and salt are the flavourings traditionally. Now the Goan depends on soup cubes or Maggi to flavour their soup.
There are variations we will come to them later.
This is a soup that is made in Portugal where meat-eating is very common. So they add meat like ham hock, sausages.
