Hi All! This next recipe is from my Tia Elvira, and this one is certainly unique, but very common in the Azores and Portugal. It’s broth poured over bread, and topped off with a poached egg. There are several variations of this dish with some adding in “linguica” or chorizo and there’s also a seafood version. Below is the recipe for the simplistic version, but feel free to add what you’d like.
