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 just found your website. I can't tell you how excited I am because I am Colombian descent and my husband is a native Colombian. Unfortunately, I do not really know how to cook all the meals he loves and I don't eat any meat other than chicken. Our mom's recipes don't actually have any measurements so this is very special. You have inspired me to try cooking some of these meal for him.
Can you tell me if these can be made in a slow cooker? We have kids and crazy schedules so I want to try using the slow cooker more to have dinner ready earlier rather than cooking last minute.
Thank you and I will use your Amazon link to support you.

Adriana- Thank you for your comment and I didn't make in the slow cooker, but you can do it, just use less water or stock and the cooking time will be longer.
Erica
Thank you guys!

We're both loving lentils, Erica! My mother made the most lovely lentil soup, but never wrote down the recipe. I'm going to try yours!

Hola Erica,

Gracias
