Do you have any recipes for Portuguese soup? My father called it Sopas Caldene. It had kale, cabbage, kidney beans, split pea-based broth, chourico, and a bone-in cut of meat. I can’t recall the seasonings or the cooking process. I often asked him to teach me, but he recently passed without leaving the recipe. Thank you

Hi Cindy, that sounds like a combination of a few soups, the closest I can come to that is this one, but you can modify it to your taste.
