When I’m craving a hearty beefy soup, I like to make a pot of la cocida. My co-worker actually told me how to make it, but of course, i tweaked the recipe…just a tad. This is a good recipe for when I want to bombard my husband with a lot of vegetables in his food. Luckily, i have a husband who likes his veggies.
