Chilean Beef Cazuela

Chilean Beef Cazuela

In my family, growing up, we ate Beef Cazuela, chicken, turkey, or fish soup, winter, and summer. I never really understood who wants to drink soup when it’s hot, but I’m not a soup-loving person, so I probably don’t qualify as an informed opinion.

I’m not too fond of soups with a lot of water. I do love all kinds of cream of vegetables and beans, lentils, or chickpeas soups.

The Chilean Beef Cazuela is an old and traditional dish in Chilean kitchens; like many others, it’s adapted to fit the seasons: in Summer with green beans, peas, corn, and even tomato. In winter with potatoes, carrots, chard, or spinach.

It can include rice, Chuchoca (Chilean cornmeal) or egg as a thickener. Usually, Chilean Beef Cazuela is the main dish, serve with assorted salads like celery, cabbage, or tomato.
