Tomato Soup

S. Manel

Alentejo

Tomato soup is a misleading name.

This Alentejo dish is much more than a soup—it’s a meal in itself!

As always, quality ingredients make all the difference: the bread, the tomatoes, the cured meats.

This time, the experience took place at “Manel” in Nossa Senhora de Machede—and it was nothing short of unforgettable.
