The Story of Portuguese Bean and Cabbage Soup Recipe | 35-Min Meal
These hearty beans quickly flourished within Portugal's brilliantly warm Mediterranean climate. Resourceful local cooks discovered that their creamy interior texture was absolutely perfect for traditional rural stews. Today, these beloved legumes remain a foundational and celebrated ingredient in countless authentic Portuguese kitchens.
Another brilliant pairing is a warm loaf of crusty bread to soak up every drop of the glorious broth. Snag a freshly baked artisan sourdough loaf from your favorite neighborhood baker. Slice it thick, toast it until golden brown, and rub it generously with a raw garlic clove.

The cooking liquid on the beans, are we talking about the liquid that is in the canned beans??
Thanks
In Step 1, it is assuming you cooked the beans yourself, if you are using canned beans, yes use the liquid from the beans in the can, but, adjust and add more water to your liking as stated on Step 3.
