ISO Portuguese Sopas recipe

[kadesma]

As a Kid and even now I stillremember the smell of meat cooking on the grill in the area behind our home. I'd go to bed knowing that in the morning we would have dinner and lunch there. The thick day old slices of French bread soaked with broth and wine, the meat and best of all the mint spread over it all. It was like heaven. Does anyone remember this? The only recipes I can find are to boil and thn simmer the meat on the stove top then some add cabbabe to the sopas that I don't remember but that mint it was wonderful. Help please if you've had this wonderful dish.

Sopas is good, yum! I've never made it but a Portuguese friend of mine's mom used to make it for us often when we visited after school. Darn that lady could cook!
