    This rice soup is comforting, flavorful and filling. One of my favorite Colombian soups.

    Sopa de Arroz con Carne en Polvo is a traditional soup served in Colombian homes. It’s a very popular soup in the Andean region where I was born and raised.

    What is Carne en Polvo?

    Carne en Polvo literally translates as powdered beef. As a side dish it can be a bit bland if you it eat alone, but it’s great when it’s served with other dishes like our famous Bandeja Paisa or with this rice soup recipe.

    Some people like to add hogao to their carne en polvo and cook it with oil for a couple of minutes on top of the stove. This makes the beef more flavorful, feel free to make this variation if you prefer.

    I can’t remember a time when I didn’t eat Sopa de Arroz con Carne en Polvo. We’ve been eating it in my family since I was old enough to chew. Years later, when I see it or taste it, it makes me feel warm and cozy inside. It really epitomizes the notion that food doesn’t always have to be fancy or made to impress, but can simply make people feel comfortable.

    This soup is warm, comforting, and in my opinion, it’s the perfect winter meal. I served my Sopa de Arroz con Carne en Polvo with avocado, hogao, banana, lime wedges and aji on the side, like my grandmother and mother served it before me.
