Suggest a better descriptionSopas are the mainstay of every Portuguese festival. Generally cooked in 100-gallon vats, they would be hard to duplicate in the home kitchen. This recipe, adapted from Deolinda Avila's "Foods of the Azores Islands," is a good family-size version of the traditional sopa, which is really a one-pot dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1/2 cinnamon stick
10 cups water
4 pounds bone-in chuck roast, or 3 pounds fresh brisket + 1 pound beef bones
{obox} 1/2 cup red wine
1 small onion, minced
1/3 cup tomato sauce
Salt to taste
1 large head cabbage
1 loaf sweet French bread, sliced
1 sprig of mint
INSTRUCTIONS:
Tie the pickling spice and cinnamon in a piece of cheesecloth. Bring the water to the boil in a large kettle. Add the meat and bones, the spices, wine, onion and tomato sauce. Bring back to the boil, reduce heat to a lively simmer, cover and cook until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Taste and season with salt. Cut the cabbage in half or quarters and add to the pot. Cook until the cabbage is just tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
Remove and discard the bones and spice bundle. Place the meat on a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest a few minutes.
Place the bread slices in a large tureen or serving bowl. Place mint on top, then ladle the hot broth over the bread. Add cooked cabbage. Thickly slice the meat and serve alongside the soup.
Provide each diner with a large individual bowl or soup plate.
