Chef Tips

- Strain the blended broth if you prefer an extremely thin and uniform texture to serve in appetizer cups. - Keep the fried bacon on paper towels until the exact moment of serving to prevent it from softening with the steam of the broth. - Taste the broth before correcting the salt, as the bacon and cooked beans already carry significant saline levels.

Variations

- Serve the broth accompanied by a shot of good quality white cachaça in the traditional Minas Gerais bar style. - Add 1 teaspoon of chopped chili pepper without seeds to the sauté for a pronounced spiciness. - Finish each little cup with a small crispy pork rind and very thin strips of raw collard greens on top.

Substitutions

- O feijão preto pode ser substituído por feijão carioca, feijão fradinho ou feijão vermelho na mesma medida de 2 xícaras. - O bacon pode ser trocado por paio em cubos minúsculos ou linguiça calabresa defumada bem frita e crocante. - O cheiro-verde fresco pode ser substituído por coentro fresco picadinho para uma versão ao estilo nordestino.

How to Store

Bean broth soup can be kept in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, add a little boiling water and stir with a spoon, as the beans tend to thicken considerably after cooling.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezes easily for up to 90 days in the freezer in sealed plastic containers or disposable cups. To thaw, transfer to the pot over low heat with 3 tablespoons of water and stir until boiling, finishing with fresh green onions and parsley.

What to Serve With

Pairs perfectly with lemon wedges to squeeze on the spot, crispy pork rinds, crispy fried cassava, and slices of French bread. To drink, it pairs well with a cold pilsner beer or a traditional lime caipirinha.
