I made this soup tonight on a whim from having a much too lazy Sunday and needing something to make my day a little bit productive. Since I made this last minute, and since I live in Indianapolis there aren't a ton of good resources for Portuguese meat (that I know of). Long story short, I substituted it with a white wine garlic turkey sausage. I know I could have used kielbasa, but I got really excited about the white wine garlic flavors. I know the texture/consistency is a lot different, but it kind of turned out like mini meatballs, and since I'm no where near a "good cook," I really surprised myself and thought it was great! Thanks Deb for your amazing recipes and entertaining stories! I LOVE YOUR SITE. Let me first say this soup is amazing!

I made this tonight with turkey kielbasa, navy beans, and some red pepper flakes for spice. Definitely a keeper recipe. Yum!

Found this site thru a friend. The recipe caught my eye because of the sweet potato. Usually I make fries with them but my sister doesn't like them so I was looking for a new recipe. We both loved this. Easy to make - I used kielbasa , not spicy (she doesn't like spicy either). Don't think this is going to be any leftover for my lunch tomorrow. Awesome soup!

It's nourishing, delicious and may be my favorite soup of all time! We added extra white bean and spinach. I had forgotten how wonderful spinach is, and this soup reminded me what I had been missing out. Absolutely wonderful. I absolutely love this soup.

I have made this soup a handful of times! It is DIVINE. Before we added the sausage (chicken kielbasa), we have been pureeing half of the soup, leaves a really nice texture. Loving the addition of the white beans. In addition, as a new mom of a 3 1/2 month old, I have to give you a long distance high five on your commenting rules regarding parenting advice. Love it! I have been making double or triple this soup to freeze and it thaws very nicely as well. Since I found this recipe on your site a few weeks ago… I have made this soup a handful of times!

Add a little bit of cinnamon (<1 tsp) and, if you like it spicy, a bit of cayenne to add a bit of depth to the flavors. Have I mentioned that I find this blog community the best ever? Props as always to Deb for creating it! As everyone has suggested, this is completely fabulous and even better on day two.

It's also delicious -- you will love it. If you have extra, chop it fine and scramble it into eggs. Hi Ella — That sounds just right — it’s fully cooked. It’s also delicious — you will love it.

I am in Alabama and thus don't have the best grocery stores to choose from. No one has heard of Portugese linguica and I am even having trouble finding chorizo. My husband finally found some but I can't figure out if it is what I should be using. It's hard and in a vacuum sealed package, not soft and packed by a butcher like I was expecting. Any advice?

I've made it several times and each time I love it more and more. I use spicy italian sausage and toss in some mushrooms and pasta. I have it for dinner on Sundays and eat the leftovers for lunch all week. It never gets old! I can’t get enough of this recipe. I’ve made it several times and each time I love it more and more.
