I usually make it without the pasts and will user kale instead of cabbage or sometimes a combination of both. Unfortunately here on the mainland unless on happens to live on the East Coast where many Portuguese communities can be found Portuguese chourico/linguiça and Gouveia's from Hawaii have to be special ordered by mail. So we tend to make do with what is avail like Mexican chorizo or linguisa or chorizo from other Latin American cultures. Worse comes to worse the kielbasa of some sort will do but never the same. Having been raised on Gouveia's Portuguese sausages in Hawaii you would be surprised should you ever have the chance to Portugal that what is made in Portugal is far from the flavor of sausage that we love in Hawaii.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554000759690492684.post-63300475787061384832014-05-11T10:30:57.854-10:002014-05-11T10:30:57.854-10:00We just had this soup in Lihue airport on our way ...We just had this soup in Lihue airport on our way back to Canada and hubby asked me to try to find a recipe.

We visited Hilo to travel to the vocanoes. It was a wonderful trip. Our cousin's wife (who is originally from Hilo) fixed us this soup while at their home and we loved it. I googled the recipe and found this site and want you to know we plan on making this and inviting friends over some night.

I still make it today. About the Uke. she told us that a man was playing the uke under a tree and every so often he would scrach himself, so the hawaiians names it jumping flea. You hear all kinds of stories. Thats what makes living in Hawaii so great. My grandma use to raise her own kale. She would put it in cornmeal. I has forgotten about that. Thanks for the memories.
