This simple hearty soup is a little like a savory porridge-stew, but instead of oats or rice, it’s made with bread). It’s superbly delicious, perfect comfort food on a dreary day and rich with flavors of garlic, extra virgin olive oil, soft poached eggs, chicken broth and cilantro.
During Portugal’s rainy season (November-December) any and every cafe you’ll enter will have locals warming up over large bowls of soup. Steamy, billowy drafts of chicken broth and garlic fill these establishments. It’s intoxicating, inviting and, you just know, extremely delicious.
