Sopa da pedra is one of the most traditional Portuguese foods and part of the typical Mediterranean diet. Once considered the soup of the poor, sopa da pedra (literally means stone soup) can now be found in every Portuguese home and restaurant, from north to south.

The soup’s main ingredients are red kidney beans, cured meat and potatoes. Although meat is usually used to give flavor to the soup, it can be found in a vegetarian version as well. This filling soup can be a full meal, with cornbread dipped in olive oil. During wintertime, it will keep you warm all day.
