You would think that I would hate soups considering how many times I was told while growing up to eat my soup. "If you want to get bigger, smarter and prettier, you need to eat your soup," my mom & Mamita would say.
But I actually love a good homemade soup. It's one of those things that I crave when the weather start getting colder, like now. I like to serve this soup with a squeeze of lime juice, aji, and avocado on the side.
Buen provecho!

*I meant served it separately from the soup!

I made this tonight-- with a few changes. My husband doesn't like the rice cooked with the soup-- so I only put 6 cups of water in the soup and made white rice separately in my rice cooker and served separately from the rice. Also, instead of 1/2 tbsp of sazon I just added two packets. Just personal preference 😉 I personally like the beef chuck shoulder roast (english cut) with all the fat trimmed off. My family (Colombian husband and 3 yr old) loved loved loved it. He felt back home with this dish. Keep them coming, Erica! 🙂 It was amazing!

"smarter and prettier, you need to eat your soup" You must have eaten a heck of a lot of soup! (Flattery will get you everywhere , right? ha ha)
I made my first Aji this year, so those three letters were what caught my eye with this post. It was too hot by itself but rocked in the cream sauce I made for Lomo al Trapo: https://www.nibblemethis.com/2010/08/lomo-al-trapo.html
and then I used it in an Aji Beef Taco Soup: https://www.nibblemethis.com/2010/08/aji-beef-taco-soup.html
I love this soup, do you use any particular cut of beef?

that sauce really gives the soup a unique color and flavor, to be sure!
