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. Ingredients:
3 lbs rump roast (size is an estimate) |
2 (4 ounce) cans tomato sauce |
2 cups red wine |
3 -4 small white onions |
3 -4 stalks celery & leaves |
3 -4 cabbage leaves |
1 head garlic |
2 tablespoons pickling spices, tied in a cheesecloth |
water, to cover all |
salt and pepper |
fresh mint leaves (optional) |
portuguese bread |
Directions:
1. Combine everything and add enough water to cover all.
2. Let cook slowly all day (at least 8 hours).
3. Remove cheesecloth bag and discard.
4. To serve, put the sliced meat and sauce(soupas) over sliced bread.
5. Sprinkle with chopped mint if desired.
