Alentejo Entulho Soup with Linguiça Recipe

1. Cook the meats (linguiça, chouriço, pork leg, and pork belly) in a large pot of water until tender (about 55 minutes).
2. Remove and cut the meats into bite-sized pieces.
3. Return the meat pieces to the cooking broth, and add the vegetables and cooked beans.
4. Let everything simmer until the vegetables are almost done (about 10 minutes).
5. Add the pasta and cook for a few more minutes, until al dente (about 10 minutes).
6. Turn off the heat and stir in a generous bunch of fresh mint.
7. Let it rest a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
