Asordo - Portuguese Bread Soup

Submitted by luvcookn

"The Portuguese love bread soup. It was a peasant dish in the old country, and when they came to this country, it continued to be a favourite way of using up stale bread."

Made this for hubby and I but I guess it just wasn't the right dish for us. Made for Saucy Senoritas Zingo ZWT5.
