Ingredients

  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 leek chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cups of water
  • 3 packs of chicken bouillon
  • ½ large cabbage cored and coarsely chopped
  • 1 chorizo chopped in small pieces
  • ½ cup parsley fresh and chopped
  • Salt and Pepper as you like it

Instructions

  • Cut the vegetables into bite sizes, along with the chorizo.
  • In a soup pot, sauté the onions, carrots, celery, chorizo, and garlic into the pot with olive oil for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
  • Pour the diced tomatoes in the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Pour 6 cups of water into the pot.
  • Add 3 chicken bouillon packs and bring to a boil.
  • Bring heat to a low and put cabbage in the pot.
  • Salt and pepper for taste and place parsley and basil for the last 10 minutes.
  • Cook for about 45 minutes, serve in a bowl of soup to enjoy a taste of Portugal!

Notes

  • I usually double up on the recipe so I can freeze it when I want a warm bowl.
  • The other thing I do is label the container of soup so as not to have it too long in the freezer.
  • Most articles say 3 months to freeze food. My mom did it for 5 months.
