How To Make portuguese sopas
-
Step 1Trim your pork shoulder of any thick, fatty outer skin. Then place whole roast in a large pot. Mix the first 12 ingredients (tomato sauce to bay leaf) together in a mixing bowl, and pour on top of the meat.
-
Step 2Cover and simmer over low heat for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours, or until meat falls easily off the bone. Shred chunks of the pork meat off the bone and into the pot.
-
Step 3Next, add chourico meat if you will be using it, beans, pasta, and chopped kale. Pour enough water into your pot to make a juice. Cover, and allow to cook over low heat for additional 30 minutes.
