This recipe was borne from necessity: I have a fridge full of bits
and pieces o f experimental breads, and a dinner-group tomorrow night
on a Portugese theme. I researched, modified and tested this
recipe. It should keep the birds from tos sing things back at
me. Test-audience gave the soup mega-kudos. I'm collecting recipes
for leftover B/M bits. Add them to this note, please? >>>>>>>
This hearty, creamy soup is native to south-coastal Portugal where it
is common ly served with cod steaks or a cod casserole often called
"Bacalhau a Gomes de s a". Serve hot topped with freshly baked melba
toasts [also made from your old br eads, 1/4-in slices in
convection/micro oven, 60 min at 275f].
