👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Rinse the soaked white beans thoroughly under cold water and drain. Place the drained beans in a large pot or Dutch oven.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Add the pork shoulder, ham bone, and 2 liters of water (or broth) to the pot with the beans. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes - 3
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 4
Stir in the chopped turnip greens and sliced chorizo. Increase the heat slightly to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and tender, and the chorizo has released its flavor into the broth.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Taste the caldo and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Remove the ham bone before serving. Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
⏱️ 5 minutes
