SPANISH CALDO GALLEGO

Spanish Caldo Gallego image

There are many versions of this wonderful soup, but its roots seem to be in Spain itself. It is a classic combination of beans, meats, and veggies. It is a little more complex than the ones here in zaar. Chopped fresh dill makes an excellent garnish for this dish.
