Sopa Perota
Sopa Perota is a hearty soup dish originating from Spanish and Latin American culinary traditions, adapted to be completely 100% plant-based! Soft potato chunks are slowly cooked with fresh vegetables and warm spices until the sauce thickens naturally and the flavors blend perfectly. This dish is very special because it is a comforting, filling and full of historical value as a dish that values simple ingredients, Without using any meat, animal broth, or dairy products at all, but still delicious and satisfying.
