Easy And Quick Vegan Portuguese Soup Recipe
If you love soups, here is the recipe for my winter staple vegan Portuguese soup that I absolutely love making on weekday nights. Warm up your soul with this fairly easy and quick to cook plant-based recipe.
Some of my earliest memories revolve around my avó’s traditional Azorean-Portuguese cooking. Growing up, I would always come home to Arroz Doce (rice pudding) or feijões (beans). One of my favorite dishes which she would make was her version of Caldo Verde, a cabbage soup which also featured pasta, potatoes, beans, and meat. As I grew up, I found myself missing this soup as it was a winter staple in my household. I decided to take action and create my own version of the soup so that I can enjoy my favorite winter meal all while staying true to my lifestyle. As this will be my third winter making this soup, I am ready to share my now-perfected recipe that will be sure to warm your stomach.

- 2 cups vegan penne pasta (farfalle or fusilli also work)
- ¼ yellow onion
