Açorda de Marisco is Portugal’s beloved bread soup, reimagined with the briny riches of the sea. Stale country bread softens in a fragrant broth of garlic, cilantro, olive oil and white wine, then meets shrimp and clams that release their juices into every spoonful.
Humble in origin yet elegant on the table, it is a dish of balance — soft bread, sweet shellfish and a whisper of heat. Serve it steaming in deep bowls with a drizzle of olive oil, the way seaside homes have long gathered around it.
