Hello, friends! Today I’m super excited to share with you one of my favorite dishes from Portugal: bread soup! Yes, you heard me right. Bread soup. And it’s amazing.
Bread soup, or açorda alentejana in Portuguese, is a traditional dish that originated in the Alentejo region of Portugal. It’s a simple and rustic dish that consists of bread soaked in a flavorful broth with garlic, cilantro, and olive oil. Then it’s topped with a poached egg for some extra protein and creaminess.
Sounds pretty basic, right? But trust me, it’s anything but boring. This bread soup is so cozy and comforting, perfect for a chilly night or a lazy weekend. It’s also a great way to use up leftover bread and fresh herbs that you have lying around.
The best part is that you can customize this bread soup with whatever toppings and variations you like. You can add some cheese, bacon, ham, or veggies for some extra flavor and texture. You can also add some fish or shrimp to the broth for some extra protein and seafood goodness. The possibilities are endless!
I learned how to make this bread soup from my Portuguese friend who lives in Lisbon. She invited me over for dinner one night and served me this amazing dish that blew my mind. I was so impressed by how simple and delicious it was. She taught me her family recipe and gave me some tips on how to make it at home.
Since then, I’ve been making this bread soup regularly and experimenting with different ingredients and combinations. It’s one of those dishes that never gets old and always hits the spot. I love how easy and quick it is to make, and how satisfying and nourishing it is to eat.
If you’ve never tried bread soup before, you’re in for a treat. I’m going to show you how to make it step by step with easy and authentic ingredients. You’ll be surprised by how good it tastes and how good it makes you feel.
