Sopa de Pasta is a comforting and hearty traditional Latin American soup made with a flavorful broth, tender vegetables like potatoes, green beans, carrots, and peas, and small pasta shapes perfect for soups. It is a simple, nourishing dish often enjoyed hot and garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado slices for added creaminess and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Broth and Base

  • 8 cups caldo (vegetal, carne o pollo)

Vegetables

  • 4 habichuelas (green beans), sliced into rounds
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 papas criollas (small native potatoes), diced
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1 celery stalk, without veins, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh green peas (arveja verde)
  • Cilantro, to taste

Pasta

  • 1 cup small soup pasta (conchitas, estrellas, letras)

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel or leave the papas criollas as is and dice them into small cubes. Peel and dice the other type of potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and grate the carrot. Remove veins from the celery stalk and chop finely. Trim the ends of the green beans and slice them into rounds.
  3. Combine and Boil: In a large pot, pour the broth and add the grated carrot, green peas, diced potatoes, sliced green beans, and salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a medium-high heat and allow it to reach a boil.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and let the soup cook for about 6 minutes to soften the vegetables.
  5. Add Cilantro and Pasta: Stir in some chopped cilantro and add the small soup pasta shapes to the pot.
  6. Cook the Pasta: Stir to combine and continue cooking the pasta according to its package instructions, approximately 10 minutes, until al dente.
  7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the salt if necessary to perfect the flavor.
  8. Serve: Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and accompanied by slices of avocado for a creamy contrast.

Notes

  • Use any small soup pasta shapes such as conchitas, estrellas, or letras for an authentic touch.
  • The broth type can be vegetable, chicken, or beef based depending on your preference.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly depending on the pasta you use to avoid overcooking.
  • Adding fresh cilantro just before serving enhances the flavor and freshness of the soup.
  • Serving with avocado alongside the soup provides a creamy texture that complements the savory broth.
