My two sisters were queens at the festas! Baby to Big Queen, and we marched in the parade as well, carrying flags or capes, in the summer heat! And it was all for soupas, linguica, fava beans, sweetbread, and the auction! This recipe is almost identical to the Portuguese hall recipe I have from my mom. Can't wait to try it, and soak the meat in wine overnight, haven't done that before.

I think this recipe smelled just like the soupa at the Holy Ghost Feasts but there is one big key ingredient missing in this. I made it exactly as posted and halfway thru I ran out of liquid. I came across another recipe similar to this and it called for 10 cups of water. Shouldn't this one have more liquid? Other than that the flavor was there but the liquid was gone.
