Portuguese Bean Soup Nugget Markets signature recipes

This savory soup gets extra flavor from simmering a whole ham hock before adding the remaining ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 ham hock
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1 pound linguica (Portuguese sausage)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 Russet potatoes, cut into 12 wedges each
  • 1 head cabbage, quartered
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) stewed tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans
  • 2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Preparation

Cover a ham hock with 2 quarts water in large pot and let simmer until meat can be pulled off easily. Remove hock and pull the meat apart.

Return meat to water, then add other ingredients and cook on low heat for 1½–2 hours. Adjust seasoning to taste, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.
