Acorda · Lisbon
A Portuguese bread soup of stale country loaf reborn in a garlicky broth with olive oil, coriander, poached egg and either shellfish or salt cod added.
Acorda originates with the Alentejano shepherds in central Portugal as a hot bread-and-water sustenance, and travelled north into Lisbon kitchens in the 19th century. The seafood version, acorda de marisco, became the city's most-celebrated take, with Pap'Acorda the canonical room since 1981.
