This is a vegetarian interpretation of the Portuguese classic--surprisingly flavorful even without the chorizo, and in spite of the humble list of ingredients. The potatoes add a creamy comfort that's welcome on a chilly fall evening. Here in Northern California there are still a few small, overripe tomatoes lingering on the withered garden vines, and they add a pop of color and burst of sweetness and acidity to the bowl. If you aren't lucky enough to find a decent tomato in your garden in early November, try a few hothouse cherry tomatoes instead.
