Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce and staples at local neighborhood markets or large grocery stores. For the specific Brazilian sausages (calabresa and paio), look for smoked beef or chicken sausages with a similar texture as a substitute, although the originals are preferred for authentic flavor.
Preparation method
- Sauté the garlic and onion in a pot.
- Add the bacon, paio, and calabresa sausage.
- Mix well until everything is sautéed.
- Add the cooked cassava.
- Cover the ingredients with water, ensuring it is about two fingers above the level of the mixture.
- Add the fresh herbs, cambuci pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Bring the soup to a boil.
- Crack the two whole eggs directly into the pot.
- Stir gently so that the eggs form ribbons in the broth before serving.
Observations
This hearty soup is perfect for colder days. The combination of cooked cassava with smoked sausages creates a rich and creamy base, making it a complete and very practical meal.
