⚠️ Our Portuguese Recipes group on Facebook, was hacked on Wednesday (July 12th) in the morning.

I’m Ed Costa, the original admin of the recipes group there, and I had been sharing recipes there daily since 2017. Unfortunately, I was removed and banned by the hacker, who is using a fake name — Mark Price — and is the one currently posting in the group.

If you're still a member of that group, please take a moment to notice that I'm no longer there and that all the recipes I had shared are now gone.

Please leave the group immediately, staying there puts you at risk of being scammed or worse.

I’ve reported this issue to Facebook several times, but so far, they haven’t responded or taken any action.

To keep our community going, I’ve created a brand-new Portuguese Recipes page on Facebook. If you'd like to keep receiving daily recipes and support what we’ve built over the years, please “Like” or “Follow” our new Facebook Recipes Page by clicking here.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and followed our recipes on Facebook since 2015. I truly appreciate you and hope you’ll continue with us on this new page.

God bless,
Ed

When I was a little girl we would go every year to holy ghost celebration and eat soupa. What is the history of this celebration?

It is much too bland. When we make Holy Ghost Soup for our feast, we have potatoes and chourico which helps flavor the broth. The boiled beef and potatoes are included so that it is not just bread and broth, but a truly hearty soup. Soup shanks are a great alternative to the roast.

I made this last week, adding a cinnamon stick. It was so good and reminded me of what was served in the SES Halls in my younger days! Thank you!
