    I’m trying to recapture my dads recipe. At first I thought the green pepper was nuts, but the more I think about it, and I’m talking 40+ years ago, I think I recall something green in the beans. I may try it! Thanks for helping to re-spark my interest.

    This is a little different from the Portuguese Bean Soup I grew up with. My family is from the Azores, so I suppose it's possible that that's the difference, or someone changed it overtime. People do make changes to recipes. We never used green peppers. We used pink beans, bacon or linguica, 3 onions, garlic, tomato sauce, brown sugar, cumin, and 1/8 tsp. each allspice, cinnamon and cloves. The spices were what made this dish special. It brings back good memories!

    Chourico in SA is horribly expensive so I used a locally made Russian Sausage. All I can say is WOW it was Delicious.

    It's a Portuguese sausage similar to chouriço Jenny.

    Not too clear about when to add the liguica. When the beans are soft? Or after the tomato sauce?

    I think the recipe sounds good...the only ingredient I'm questioning is the cinnamon, although 1/2 tsp. is very small considering the amount of beans.

    Susan, if you're not a fan please leave that out, the author simply recommends it but it's up to everyone's taste buds. to take away or add anything. :-)

    My maiden name is Souza and have never used cinnamon making this soup. or cumin and will use a small amount of wet red crushed peppers. My heritage is the AZORES an island and Portuguese. Just to let you know many ways of making it. Enjoy

    I agree with Justin. My mother and grandmother preferred pink beans when they made this. Otherwise this recipe is pretty close to theirs.

    I prefer pink beans to pintos. That suggestion was in a comment for this same recipe from an earlier time -- Maybe a year or two back. It definitely makes a difference.

    Thanks Justin, we were using Facebook comments before, this comment system is new so all the old comments are gone.
