Hickory

I love cozy, one pot soups for dinner in the winter. Yes, even here in Florida we have winter – such as it is. We may not have sub-zero temperatures and blizzards but we do have cool days with dark skies. And it is on such days that if feels so comforting to have a big, hearty pot of soup simmering away.

This recipe is my version of Portuguese Bean Soup. I feel perfectly justified in coming up with my own take on this soup as apparently ever self-respecting Portuguese housewife and cook has their own version.
