I will update monthly.
I think this could be fun!
My background is Portuguese (Azores) and Irish. This is one dish that I always enjoyed.
Portuguese Linguica Soup (my mom's recipe)

3/4 lb linguica (cut into small pieces)
1 cup each of washed lentils, barley and split peas.
1/2 bag of baby carrots (sliced)
3 medium potatoes (cutup)
1 pkg spinach (washed)
1. Boil on medium heat, linguica, lentils, barley, split peas for one and
1/2 hours, until linguica is tender.
2. Add water, as necessary, as grains absorb water.
3. Add sliced potatoes and carrots. Cook another 1/2 hour until tender.
(Carrots and potatoes could be put in micro-wave before adding to soup to
reduce boiling time).
4. Add washed spinach for last 10 minutes.
5. Serve with your favorite bread.
