Escudella i Carn d’Olla

Andorra · Europe

Short description: This heavy winter stew turns broth, legumes, pasta, vegetables, and several meats into a complete meal.
Ingredients: Broth with mixed meats, sausage or meatballs, beans, chickpeas, cabbage, potatoes, vegetables, and pasta.
Cultural note: Holiday and cold-weather versions often separate the broth from the meats, but the shared meal is the point.
Common misconception: It is more than a noodle soup; the boiled meats and vegetables are central to the dish.
