Portuguese Sopas

This can be found at Holy Ghost Fiestas. It's a common Portuguese favorite. It's ugly food but damn good. Below you'll find instructions for stove top, crock pot and instant pot. I tend to serve this with macaroni or potato salad. It comes with a beautiful tale, if you'd like to know, ask.
