Açorda à Algarvia

Açorda à Algarvia is a traditional seafood soup from the Algarve region and a version of the açorda, a traditional bread soup. It is made by cooking a mixture of seafood like mussels, clams, and cockles in a broth with garlic and olive oil. The broth is then used to soak slices of homemade bread, creating a thick, hearty mixture. Fresh coriander and eggs are added to enrich the dish. The result is a flavorful, seafood-infused bread soup, traditionally enjoyed as a comforting and satisfying meal in the Algarve.
