Sopa de Res, or Salvadoran-style beef soup, is one of the most comforting and beloved dishes at Paseo San Miguel. This hearty soup is perfect for those seeking a warm, nourishing meal that feels like a home-cooked treat. Packed with tender pieces of beef, fresh vegetables, and flavorful broth, Sopa de Res offers a rich, savory taste that soothes the soul.
The soup begins with high-quality cuts of beef, simmered slowly to ensure they become tender and absorb the rich flavors of the broth. The beef is typically accompanied by a variety of vegetables, including carrots, corn, potatoes, and yucca. These vegetables add both texture and flavor to the soup, creating a balanced and satisfying dish. The yucca, in particular, gives the soup a starchy, slightly nutty flavor, while the carrots and potatoes provide a subtle sweetness that complements the savory broth.
The broth itself is the star of the dish, made from a base of beef stock, garlic, onions, and herbs. The slow-cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a deep, flavorful soup that is both hearty and refreshing. The addition of fresh herbs like cilantro adds a bright, fresh finish to the dish, while a squeeze of lime brings just the right amount of acidity to balance the richness of the broth.
Sopa de Res is traditionally served with warm tortillas on the side, allowing diners to scoop up the tender beef and vegetables or soak up the delicious broth. The combination of the flavorful broth, tender meat, and fresh vegetables makes this soup a perfect meal for any time of the year, but it is especially comforting on a chilly day.
