CALDO GALLEGO

Steps:

• In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and add the ham hock, onions, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until slits of ham hock have begun to open and vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, to taste, and paprika and cook for 1 minute longer. Add 9 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Drain the white beans and add them to the pot. Return to a simmer and continue to cook at a simmer until beans are just beginning to get tender, about 1 hour longer. Remove the ham hock and, when cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the hock and shred into bite size pieces. (Discard skin and bones.) Return the meat to the pot along with the remaining salt (or to taste), potatoes, turnip greens, and chorizo and continue to cook until beans have broken down slightly, potatoes and greens are very tender, about 1 hour longer. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.
• Note: you may have to add a bit more water if the soup gets too thick during the lengthy cooking time.

POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Broil Poblano and jalapeno pepper until charred on both sides. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, and set aside.
• Melt butter in a medium-sized pot.
• Add onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes.
• Add flour and salt and stir for a few more minutes.
• Add broth and whisk to combine.
• Remove seeds from the peppers, then dice. Add to the pot, along with the potatoes. If you'd like some texture in your soup, leave one of the chopped poblanos to add after you puree the other peppers in the soup.
• Stir in jalapeno pickling liquid and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
• Use a hand-held immersion blender to puree the soup. Stir in the reserved chopped Poblano, and cream before serving.
