For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Adjust the amount of smoked ham to your liking; more ham will result in a smokier broth. If you can't find turnip greens, kale or collard greens make good substitutes. Caldo Gallego tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld together.

Jun 26, 2025Authentic and delicious! Just like my grandmother used to make. I added a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.

May 10, 2025This recipe is fantastic! My family loved it, and it was surprisingly easy to make. I used kale instead of turnip greens, and it worked perfectly.

Mar 12, 2025I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. The key is to use good-quality chorizo and ham. I also like to add a bay leaf to the broth for extra depth.
