Sopa de Feijao Verde

Cut the potatoes into chunks, slice the string beans thinly across the pod, and roughly chop the onions and tomatoes, keeping them separate on a cutting board.

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

Add the chopped onions to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Add the potato chunks and continue cooking for 8-10 minutes until they begin to become tender.

Stir in the tomato chunks and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften them and release their flavor.

Add the sliced string beans and stir well to distribute them evenly throughout the pot.

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the string beans are tender-crisp and the potatoes are fully cooked through.

Season the soup with 2 teaspoons of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, stirring to combine evenly.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve hot.
