Portuguese Shrimp Bisque

Wed, 06 Mar 2002 11:15:35 -0500

I originally served this to our gourmet group as a first course. Fortunately, I had made extra, because everyone wanted seconds in spite of knowing there was 3 more course yet to come. I was very pleased they liked the soup but disappointed because my husband and I were looking forward to leftovers for the next day! -- posted by Lorac

Mix and match the seafood to your own liking, with clams, mussels and/or squid. You can substitute the turmeric for 10-12 saffron strands. -- posted by Pets'R'us

Caldo Verde

Tue, 08 Oct 2002 22:02:30 -0400

Caldo verde means "green soup" and is considered Portugal's national dish. What better way to start off fall than with a simple, flavorful, and nourishing soup. From Cuisine Magazine -- posted by Bev

Portuguese Bean Soup

Fri, 22 Nov 2002 20:03:57 -0500

A hearty soup for cold weather lunches. This has been a family favorite for over ten years. It is often the first receipe requested by new sister-in-laws. -- posted by Mike Marek

Portuguese Kale Soup (With Veggie Version)

Tue, 20 Jan 2004 20:00:33 -0500

My grandmother (from Fall River Massachusettes) taught me to make this soup just before I went to college. I tweaked it a little, but not much. This is portuguese soul food. It cures all ills, especially the rainy cabin fever I get here in Seattle each winter. Note: 12.02.07 I stopped eating meat, but still love to make this soup. Vegetarians... use "Soyrizo" instead of Chourice. -- posted by Kendra PeloJoaquin

Hearty Portuguese Kale Soup

Tue, 03 Feb 2004 19:59:51 -0500

This is a very flavorful soup that is a comfort food for my family. The recipe was given to me by my Portuguese mil over 30 yrs ago. Her mother had passed it on to her. This soup is easily stretched to make more servings. The Chorizo gives the broth a good base for adding another can of beans or more pasta or a little water. Soul warming for a cold night, serve with a warm crusty bread. A great next day soup. Freezes well. -- posted by Bitsie

Portuguese Kale Soup

Mon, 03 Jan 2005 20:00:39 -0500

DH and I have been going to a little place called Cafe Rio for years. About the only thing we ever order there is Portuguese kale soup. I have tried to duplicate the recipe for several years and this is as close as it gets. The linguica sausage is a must. -- posted by PaulaG

Sopa Verde

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 09:55:39 -0400

This is a delicious kale and chicken soup with plenty of garlic, white wine and that light, distinctive Portuguese flavor of cloves. In Portugal, "caldo" is generally a lighter soup, and "sopa" is a soup with more vegetables and meat, and is often thickened slightly by using potato cooking water, as this one is. -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Azore-Style Feijos (Beans)

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 08:58:02 -0400

An Old World bean soup recipe given to me by my husband's cousin's grandparents who are from the Portuguese Azore Islands. You can follow the spice trade route with this recipe. Pity that pink beans are not used much in cooking. They are so delicious! This makes the house smell so good! Can easily be prepared vegetarian. -- posted by Cookgirl

Spanish Lentil Soup With Chorizo

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 22:31:00 -0400

When I first arrived in Córdoba, Spain to study for a year, the cook in my dorm served this, my first lunch in my new home. I had never had lentils before, but this dish quickly became my absolute favorite. My additions to the recipe are the garlic, onion and potato; I tried carrot once but I overcooked it and was traumatized by the mushiness, so I haven't done that since. The best part about this recipe is it costs less than $10 to make and feeds many. -- posted by Valeria

Chicken and Turnip Soup

Sat, 12 Nov 2005 04:23:13 -0500

This is a wonderful soup and great comfort food on a cold night. It's just the thing for a cold too! Here in Portugal we really like our chicken soup with rice ("canja") but this is a very tasty and colorful variation I often enjoy. The quantities are all aproximations: add or reduce to your liking. :) -- posted by ana c.

Soupas - a Portuguese Feast Soup T-R-L

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 09:24:41 -0400

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. -- posted by Nana Lee

Portuguese Soup

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 23:20:12 -0400

My boy friend is portuguese, and had a yen for this soup, after many test runs, I think I've got it. I've seen lots of variations, but this is close to what he remembers from his youth, lots of kale, linguica and a hearty broth. He likes this with crusty sourdough bread, but being from the south, I like it with good ole cast iron skillet cornbread. -- posted by velvet_sj

Portuguese Bean Soup

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:25:54 -0400

This is a hearty soup that thickens naturally with the added potato chunks. It makes a BIG pot, but don't worry, it reheats well (just add more water as needed before reheating). -- posted by Chilicat

Cape Cod Portuguese Kale Soup

Fri, 25 Aug 2006 23:02:37 -0400

This is an authentic Portuguese Kale soup. I don't use the dried bans, I use canned canneloni instead. It saves time and I like them better than the red variety. The number of servings is a guess as the size of your bowl and appetite varies. Also whether you use this as a main dish or soup course. -- posted by Nana Lee

Portuguese Spinach & Chickpea Soup (Sopa De Grao)

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 08:26:59 -0400

Another recipe adapted from Jean Anderson's "Food of Portugal." This hearty soup is from the Alentejo and can be dressed up with the inclusion of some garlicy sausage--chourico or linguica. I have taken a shortcut and use canned chickpeas and frozen chopped spinach, but using really good homemade chicken stock really makes a big flavor difference. -- posted by Chef Kate

Fresh Coriander Soup (Sopa De Coentro)

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 08:27:33 -0400

I know there are those who say they don't like cilantro or coriander or Chinese parsley. I am not one of those people and this soup is so delicious and comforting when served hot in cold weather, and soothing when served cold in hot weather. It's another Portuguese recipe adapted from Jean Anderson's Foods of Portugal. This is very easy to make but it requires a good 24 hours in the fridge, so plan accordingly. -- posted by Chef Kate

Portuguese Green Soup

Sun, 22 Oct 2006 15:12:39 -0400

Native to Portugals northwest region of Minho, this green soup is made with a deep green kale which is unlike that grown elsewhere. Kale or spinach found in American stores can be uses as a substitute. -- posted by Olha

Lydia's Portuguese Beef Stew

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 22:00:02 -0400

This is Lydia's way to make beef stew. Lydia came to the United States when she was 18. She shared this recipe with me back in 1998. Very hardy, buttery and filling. Good comfort food. I have never done it, but I see where this could be converted to a slow cooker after sauteing the beef. -- posted by bshemyshua

Cilantro Potato Soup

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 02:01:01 -0500

Something I had a few times while growing up --at a neighbor's and at Avo's house. Where I grew up, half the neighbors were from the Azores, so it was good, good eating. It's not a recipe that needs exact measurements, but this is about how I do it :) Obviously don't make it if you don't like cilantro, but if you do...mmmmmmmmm :) For a vegetarian version, just use veggie broth. Whichever you use, make sure it's a good quality. The ingredients are so simple it needs to be a good quality broth. -- posted by DeeCooks

Portuguese Soup

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 19:44:54 -0500

This was from a friend that lived down the street. She was about 75 in 1965. She always had a nice garden and would share the items she grew. The women would come over and visit just about everyday to say hello to my mom, brother and I. She would always bring us some of this soup when she made it. My mom is now 83. The lady that gave us this soup has long since passed! This has been passed down for a very, very long time. This could be the best soup I have ever tasted, thanks to Mrs Vollmer! -- posted by Moontan Master!

Sopa De Albondigas (Aka Meatball Soup)

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:41:33 -0400

i got this recipe out of a Sephardic Cookbook. i really recommend this dish- it is a little hard to get just right because you add lemon juice and egg to the soup mixture, but when you get it right, it is worth it. This soup is rich and hearty and can be a meal unto its own. it is really good during the winter time because the thickness of the soup gives you a sense of comfort. -- posted by Rellish

Quick Kidney Bean Soup With Savoy Cabbage

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 15:26:57 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. By Ana Patuleia Ortins from "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking". Per Ms. Ortins, "While you can use canned beans in a pinch, keep a watch on the sodium level. If time permits, use the less expensive and healthier method of presoaking dried legumes overnight, rinsing them then cooking them in unsalted water or broth and set aside until needed. You can do this a day or two ahead.. To have presoaked beans cook in your soup, add salt only towards the end when the beans are tender. Salting too early will result in tough beans." -- posted by KateL
