Here’s a soulful and traditional recipe from the Azores: Sopas do Espírito Santo (Holy Ghost Soup) 🇵🇹🍞 — a dish deeply rooted in the Holy Ghost festivals celebrated across the islands. It’s not your typical soup — it’s a rich, meaty broth soaked into bread, served with cabbage and beef, and meant to be shared in community.
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 4 lb chuck roast and meat bones
- 1 lb beef liver (optional, for authenticity)
- 1 head of cabbage, quartered
- 2 loaves of day-old crusty bread
- 10 cups water
- 1 onion, minced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
