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.

PORTUGUESE SOPAS



Portuguese Sopas image

Sopas (pronounced soapish) is different depending on the region your family came from. I had a friend from Rhode Island that pronounced it soupish...her version was close, not exactly the same. This version is from the Azores, Terceria to be exact.
