Barbara, I am from Santa Maria and the sopa de hortela (mint) you mentioned in your email was called acorda in my family. Acorda translated to bread soup. It's one of my father's favorite soups. The eggs, however, were always poached.

Thank you Sam, great story and recipes. I am saving them for my grandchildren who think I am the expert in Portuguese cooking, I am lucky to make 4 or 5 items. My mother was very Americanized and rarely cooked Portuguese but I did manage to pick up a few things. One thing she use to make during WWII was Soupa de Ortalon (I think) It was made by boling water with a little salt, adding a beaten egg and pouring it over a slice of french bread and fresh mint. It reminds me of Chinese egg drop soup. Take care...
