Chef E: ah, great to hear that you have your own trip to Spain planned - can't wait to hear all about it; as for the soup, if butter beans ain't your thing, then you gotta go with whatever beans it is you like Reeni: thanks - we certainly passed through some very picturesque places while we were there Tangled Noodle: it's a kind of get back to basics holiday - all you have to do on a given day is get up, walk until you find a little village cafe, rest a bit, then walk some more, then later on, have soup and whatever else is on offer for dinner - and, yes, that of course includes vino :) Sophie: thanks - as made here, this soup is definitely a filling meal in itself SippitySup: always glad if I inspire you to cook, though I fear that, in your present jaw-wired-shut state, that the caldo would have to be blended... Lori: you're right I think - seeing places like this just makes me want to head right back out and travel some more Duo Dishes: if I hear of anyone giving out trips over here, you will be the first to know, promise!

SippitySup: always glad if I inspire you to cook, though I fear that, in your present jaw-wired-shut state, that the caldo would have to be blended…

The soup looks delicious. Perfect for a rainy day. I guess the good thing about travel memories is that they keep us going back to new and beautiful places. The soup looks delicious.

The photos are beautiful, especially the one with the 'golden' tree. But without a doubt, the star of this post is your Caldo Gallego! A walk in the beautiful countryside and a bowl of this delicious soup - what more can you ask for? What a lovely time you must have had, notwithstanding blisters.

Jenni: thanks ma'am - the soup is definitely a warmer-upper type affair, which means it's good for an Irish summer or equally welcome if you've just spent the day on foot Malachi: my own preference is for dried beans - though having a pressure cooker means I don't have to spend hours waiting for them to cook; even then, I'll occasionally use tinned beans out of convenience, so you can certainly give them a try jenn: on the Camino there are plenty of afternoon strolls down dirt paths and alongside roadways and through towns and villages too – it covers a lot of ground
