Number Of Ingredients 19

5 lb chuck roast, whole
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 can(s) whole tomatoes, diced
1 can(s) tomato sauce, 15 ounces
1 bay leaf, optional
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp whole cloves
2 tsp allspice, whole
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 c ketchup
2 c red wine
4 qt water
1 cabbage head, quartered
salt to taste
pepper to taste
4 fresh mint sprigs
1-2 french bread loaves

Steps:

  • 1. Use a 6-8 quart pot and fill 1/2 to 2/3 full.
  • 2. Put meat, chopped onions, cinnamon, sauces, ketchup, wine and spices into pot and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Put the whole spices into a tea ball and submurge in broth.
  • 4. Check meat and right before it starts to flake, remove from the pot and let cool.
  • 5. Cut into bite size pieces while cabbage is cooking, and return to the pot after the cabbage is done.
  • 6. Should take 2-3 hours on a slow burner, but the meat is flavored better when cooked in a crockpot.
  • 7. The cabbage is added at the end and should be boiled until translucent, but not so it breaks up.
  • 8. The last thing to add before you turn off heat is mint.
  • 9. Serve Sopas over french bread slices.

This Sopa was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I found the instructions for this Sopa to be a bit confusing. I had to reread them a few times before I felt confident that I was doing it right.

The Sopa was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This Portuguese Sopa was delicious! The flavors were amazing and it was so easy to make. I added some extra vegetables to the soup, like carrots and celery, and it turned out even better.
