A basic recipe for this popular Portuguese Soup, from a 1954 cookbook,Vineyard Fare. There are many good cooks on this island, a lot of Portuguese descent, and I learned to love it! This was a recipe donated to the Martha's Vineyard Hospital Auxiliary, for their cookbook by the mother of a friend of mine, Florence Borges (she recently died) and it will remind me of her
