Here is the real thing. This is the very traditional recipe served at the fiestas. My sister-in-law was very fore thoughtful to get this recipe from my Grandfather before he past. Enjoy.

Sopa

1 TB. pickling spice
4 lb. beef roast
4 qts. water
2 bay leaves
4 clove garlic, minced
4 large sprigs fresh mint
1 large onion, sliced
1 c. tomato sauce
1 TB. pickling salt
½ c. red or white wine
1 TB. butter
1 sprig fresh cilantro
3 heads cabbage, cut into wedges, remove core
1 loaf dry French bread, to serve with soup

Wrap pickling spice in a cloth and tie with a string. Drop into a large pan with beef, water and all other ingredients except cabbage. Simmer at least 12 hours or until meat falls apart. After about 6 hours of cooking add cabbage; add more water if needed. You want lots of liquid.

The liquid is important as the soup will be ladled over the dry French bread and the soup will be “sopped up”.

The English translation for “sopa” is soup. Sopa is a holy offering made during the Portuguese fiestas. This is an old Portuguese recipe that is a national tradition. As a young girl, I always looked forward to going to the fiestas. Everyone sang, music played and people danced in the church courtyard. It was a time of great fun.
