Caldinho de Feijão is a flavorful and savory soup with earthy bean notes, smoky accents, and a hint of spice. Its comforting taste is often enhanced with toppings, adding layers of texture and flavor.
The primary flavor comes from the cooked beans, typically black beans or carioca beans, which are simmered until tender and then pureed. The soup is often seasoned with garlic, onion, bay leaf, and cumin, providing a savory and aromatic base. Smoked meats, such as bacon or sausage, are frequently added to impart a smoky depth. Hot sauce or chili peppers introduce a pleasant spiciness. Common toppings include chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lime, which contribute freshness and complexity.

Soak the Beans
Soaking the beans overnight before cooking helps to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
Use Smoked Meats
Adding smoked meats, like bacon, calabresa sausage, or ham hocks, provides a rich and smoky flavor that elevates the soup.
Blend for Smoothness
Use a blender or immersion blender to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. For a slightly thicker consistency, remove a portion of the cooked beans before blending and add them back in after blending the rest.
Adjust Seasoning
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Salt, pepper, and hot sauce are essential for bringing out the flavors.
Get creative with toppings
Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings! Crispy bacon, chopped green onions, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lime, croutons and a dollop of sour cream are all excellent additions.
