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!

Looks like a heart warming winter soup, and so filling. I love to have such soups when it is getting colder and it's rainy or snowy. Soup is one of the things than can make me happy after a tiring day. Thanks for the recipe.

This homemade soup reminds me of how wonderful it is to make and have soup on hand! I wish it was cooler in here, we are in an Indian summer still!

I have had a miserable cold all week, and all I have wanted is a bowl of real soup. I cannot even begin to tell you how good this looks.

I like soups too, Erica, but admit I don't make them very often now that I'm not cooking for a big family anymore. And, I must confess, my sister is the big soup maker in the family.
Your soup looks very tasty...the color is marvelous and I really like the flavors you have incorporated. Perhaps my sister will make it and share with me???

I have been craving soups too! Love that this has potatoes and rice.

This looks like it will be a great hit for my husband!
I do not eat beef (don't care for the taste), so I am still learning my cuts of beef. What do you suggest for a soup like this? So it is tender, not tough, not too fatty, etc.
But it looks wonderful

It is so much like our "asopao" and I am waiting for the cold to set in to make a big pot. During the holidays every home had one pot on back of stove when they had parties. It would be the last thing a guest would eat before leaving.
You brought me back to old memories. Thanks, Erica.

It's still very hot here in Athens (35 C) and it's very early for soups but this sounds delicious to prepare in a couple of months.
