Hearts of Palm Soup

This is classic botequim food; you will see it all over the menus in Rio. I particularly enjoy the version served at Boteco Belmonte.

I love this soup because it’s healthy, earthy, creamy (without a lot of actual cream), easy to prepare and simply different. After making it once, I’m sure you’ll want to make it often, especially if you have a spare can of hearts
