👨‍🍳 步驟

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

💡 專業提示

✓For best results, soak the beans overnight. If short on time, use the quick-soak method: cover beans with water, boil for 2 minutes, let stand for 1 hour, then drain.
✓The soup should be thick and hearty. Adjust liquid if necessary.
✓Greens are added towards the end to retain their vibrant color and nutrients.
✓This soup is even better the next day as the flavors meld.

Add 'lacón' (cured pork shoulder) for an authentic Galician touch.
Incorporate other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips.
For a vegetarian version, omit the pork and ham bone, and use vegetable broth. Add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
