Soupas - a Portuguese Feast Soup T-R-L image

This is a traditional Portuguese soup served in homes, and especially at the Holy Ghost Feast, a yearly celebration. I don't get to there any more, but at least I have the recipe! Some of the true afficionados use several kinds of beef, including liver. All ingredient amts are estimates, as are the number of servings.
