My Mother’s Portuguese Butter Bean, Macaroni & Chouriço Soup

This is one of the comforting Portuguese soups my mother used to make. I remembered the generous amount of butter beans, macaroni, fresh vegetables and Portuguese sausage simmered together in one large pot. It is a simple, filling family meal with a rich tomato and chouriço-flavoured broth. Seeing all the familiar ingredients together brought the memory of this soup straight back to me.
