1 TBS whole cumin
1 tsp whole allspice
1 tsp whole cloves
4 bay leaves

1 loaf French bread (plain - not sweet or sourdough)

1
**It is important that the French bread is day old (hard), as this helps to prevent it falling apart and becoming mush once the sopa is poured over it).**
2
Cut meat into 3-by-3 inch pieces.
3
Place whole spices - cumin, allspice and cloves - in a cloth bag. (Brand-new, white baby socks can be used as the cloth bag. Just put the spices in and tie the sock in a knot.)
4
Boil meat with soup bones, onion, garlic, spices in cloth bag, wine, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce until meat is tender.
5
Add cabbage wedges to pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.
6
Skim fat from top of liquid.
7
In bowl, place thick sliced day old French bread with mint on top. Over this, pour hot juice from pot.
8
In a bowl, pour sopa over thick sliced bread.

(Note: Worcestershire sauce is not used in all festa sopas; unlike this recipe, chicken base is used. These two differences make for more brothy-colored sopas, which is more like the sopas served in the Azores.)
