Steps:
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and add the ham hock, onions, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until slits of ham hock have begun to open and vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, to taste, and paprika and cook for 1 minute longer. Add 9 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Drain the white beans and add them to the pot. Return to a simmer and continue to cook at a simmer until beans are just beginning to get tender, about 1 hour longer. Remove the ham hock and, when cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the hock and shred into bite size pieces. (Discard skin and bones.) Return the meat to the pot along with the remaining salt (or to taste), potatoes, turnip greens, and chorizo and continue to cook until beans have broken down slightly, potatoes and greens are very tender, about 1 hour longer. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.
- Note: you may have to add a bit more water if the soup gets too thick during the lengthy cooking time.
CALDO GALLEGO-COLLARD GREEN SOUP
This has become a family favorite! I have been eating this soup all of my life, growing up in Tampa & Ybor City. I have mastered the recipe to what I think is the best in town. It can be made with out the ham & chorizo, if you wish for a vegetarian soup.

Steps:
- 1. Generously coat bottom of pot with olive oil, add next 6 ingredients. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, add remaining ingredients, continue cooking on medium to low heat until beans and collards are tender.
- 2. note: Chorizo! I use BOTH Spanish & Mexican. However either one is optional. The Mexican Chorizo must be removed out of the plastic casing. It adds a lot of flavor and mixes well through out the soup.
- 3. note: Can be made with out the chorizo, if you wish for a vegetarian soup. You can also use can beans & can/frozen collards if you wish. 3 cans of each, 1 bag of collards, or 2, depending on size. The potato is also optional. I like vinegar in this soup, some do not. More or less may be added.

CALDO VERDE (PORTUGUESE GREEN SOUP)
This soup is a Portuguese favorite of mine. It is a creamy soup with the wonderful use of kale, giving it the green soup look. Enjoy it with a thick slice from your favorite loaf of bread!

Steps:
- 1. In a 4 qt. soup pot, place ham hock and salt pork. If using bacon, fry separately (not crisp) and save the bacon drippings. Cover with water and bring to a rapid boil. Skim several times to remove foam/fat. Cook over moderate heat until meat is fork tender - approximately 1 hour.
- 2. Add the thawed or fresh greens to the pot along with the sugar, nutmeg and beans. Cook partially covered at low heat for 1/2 hour.
- 3. In a skillet, saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in the bacon drippings. Add them to the soup. Check liquid and add more water/broth as needed. Add the salt to taste (DO NOT add the salt prior to this step as the meat releases salt as well -- you don't want to over-salt the soup.
- 4. Add the cubed potatoes and the chopped Spanish chorizos. Stir and cook for an additional 45 minutes longer at low heat until potatoes are done. Remove the meats and chop if necessary. Return meat to soup, heat thoroughly and serve hot.
CALDO GALLEGO ESTILO CUBANO - GALICIAN SOUP CUBAN STYLE
Loosley based on various recipes I found on the internet but it is with Jesus Tarifa's, our chef here at the home, help and guidance that brought the recipe to post. It brings back a lot of fond memories but when it was made in our home in Cuba it was made with bacon and chorizos only! It is a robust soup that is hearty and delicious! It is a whole meal and is wonderful! It hails from Spain but the Cubans adopted it as their own, as they have with many of their recipes. Here, we have made it with collard greens but it can be made with Swiss chard, kale, or even spinach. These beans do better if soaked overnight.
