17 Latin Soups Perfect For a Snow Day
It's officially sopita season! When winter hints and you finally feel that slight chill in the air that makes you feel good about bidding farewell to the warm months – isn't it weird how it tends to happen overnight? – there's often nothing more comforting for lunch or dinner than a big bowl of steamy soup. As the weather gets colder and the temperatures continue to drop, lots of folks look to nourish their bodies and boost their immune systems with hot and hearty soups. In Latin gastronomy specifically, there is a wide array of soups and stews from every Latin American country, that are just as delicious as they are nutritious. With COVID19 cases spiking across the nation, we can't think of anything better to do right now than to stay in and get cozy with a warm bowl of sopita, whether it be Dominican sancocho or Mexican pozole.
