Olla de carne

Costa Rica · Latin America

Short description: This filling soup serves beef and large-cut vegetables in a clear, savory broth.
Ingredients: Beef broth with chunks of cassava, plantain, corn, potato, chayote, squash, carrot, and herbs.
Cultural note: The dish is often treated as a complete meal because the broth carries both meat and a wide mix of roots and vegetables.
Common misconception: It is not a smooth vegetable soup; the large chunks are part of the expected presentation.
