Inspired by a feijoada, from feijão (meaning 'beans'), this bean-based stew is typically cooked with beef or pork. This Brazilian version is characterised by adding leafy greens and spices typical of the cuisine - here, we're using baby spinach and serving with ciabatta to mop up all the delicious flavour.

Cooking Steps
- Slice the pepper into strips.
- Heat in a drizzle of oil in a saucepan on medium-high heat.
- Once hot, fry the pepper, chorizo and beef mince, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks.
- Drain the black beans.
- Drain the fat from the mince. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
- Add the Brazilian style spice, fry 30 secs.
- Stir in the black beans, passata, red wine stock paste, honey and water for the soup (see pantry for both).
- Bring to the boil. Lower the heat. Simmer, 4-5 mins.
- Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
- Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and toast until golden.
- When the soup's ready, taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Stir in the butter (see pantry). Remove from the heat.
- Share the soup between bowls.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the burger bun halves (if you wish). Serve on the side for dipping.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: A warming, protein-rich soup with bold, satisfying flavours that works especially well on cold days.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to make with minimal washing up, making it a great weeknight option.
- Suggestions: If the spice level feels too strong, try using around half the Brazilian spice sachet; adding onion, garlic, or chilli can deepen the flavour further. Some reviewers found that melting a little cheese on top rounded out the dish nicely.
- Next-day meals: The soup freezes well, making it a handy option for a second meal later in the week.
- Serving ideas: Swapping the burger buns for ciabatta works well for dipping; adding rice turns the dish into something closer to a hearty chilli.
