Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup is a well-known dish in the north of Madeira, especially in the parish of São Roque do Faial.
Locals of this parish have always dedicated themselves to agriculture. It’s not surprising then that  most of their daily diet is made up of vegetables, especially green sprouts. 

Ingredients:

1 green cabbage
0.5 kg pumpkin
250 g of potatoes
350 g of sweet potatoes
300 g of salted pork
1 handful of savory
2 carrots
pasta (as needed)

Preparation:

Add half pot of water in a pot and bring it to a boil.

Add all the ingredients into the pot and allow it to cook until the vegetables are tender. This usually takes up to an hour, unless you use a steam pot in which case a quarter of an hour would be just right.
