Thank you. This is the real soup that I had on my first visit to Portugal. The other recipes I’ve seen on the Internet are too fussy, too inauthentic. There’s no chicken stock, no cooked garlic. Just simple, excellent, heart-warming soup, as presented here.
Thank you John!
Perfect authentic recipe!
Thank you Janice!
