Spanish Caldo Gallego
"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."

Easy and delicious. Lots of swaps here... I used chicken breast and 3 legs. Used collards instead of green cabbage, homemade kielbasa instead of chorizo. Frozen onions for fresh. A freezer clean out recipe. Love the smell coming from my stove. Serve with good bread!!!!! -
If I could give this soup more stars I would. This is definately going into our regular rotation. Thank you, luvcook'n for posting!

Yikes!! My daughter had fun in PaintShop Pro!! What she can do with a picture.
My husband and I live in the "bush" and hour from the closest town. Life here is quiet, yet so much more busy than when we lived in the "city". We grow our own veggies, several kinds of berries, and grow lots of hard neck organic garlic. We have 60 chickens, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird. Quite the menagerie.
I make all my own breads, and sell them (along with the eggs). I have a group of friends whom I make extra goodies for.
