Country Life in Portugal: Gardening & Homemade Caldo Verde

Winter in Portugal is a time to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. My day begins with a peaceful morning walk around the homestead, embracing the quiet beauty of the countryside. Taking in the crisp air and soft winter light, I reflect on the charm of rural life. In the afternoon, I visit a local butcher to pick up fresh Portuguese chouriço sausage and stop by a shop for artisan sourdough bread, perfect for pairing with a homemade meal. Back home, I prepare a warm and comforting bowl of Caldo Verde, a traditional Portuguese soup made with simple, nourishing ingredients. There’s something special about embracing the slower rhythm of the seasons and making the most of homegrown and local flavours.
