As you know, I love soups, and while growing up in Colombia, there were delicious soups made daily at our house.
There are those simple dishes that you want to make because you need comfort food and because it reminds you of what your mom or grandmother used to make when you were a kid. Soups are that kind of food for me. I love to serve this soup with white rice, sweet plantains, and a tomato-red onion salad on the side.
Buen provecho!

I made this soup for some Colombian friends. I followed the recipe as best as I could. I have a tendency to add my own touches when I cook, so i added a half can of tomato paste because I wanted a little color to the broth. That little bit of paste added some rich flavor as well. My friends raved about it. They want me to make it for them every time they visit. I enjoy your blog and have made several of your recipes.
