We pronounced it soap-age. We make it occasionally when all the family gets together in Central California. Add a piece of mint on top of the bread and meat. We eat it with a dill pickle. Yummy!

Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 13:43:07 -0500 Quick question on the pronounciation of "Sopas". I totally didn't make this connection until a few minutes ago, and I've been reading this thread for days. I remember my Great Grandparents and Grandparents talking about something that sounded (in their accents) "Soup-esh" or "Soup-age". Same stuff?

The sopas served at the Portuguese halls in California are served either with the broth and bread in one pot and the meat and cabbage in the other pot (and then you put it together yourself on your plate) or sometimes it's broth and cabbage in one pot and the meat in the other or sometimes it's all put together in one big pot. I just plop it on my plate. It all goes to the same place - my stomach!
