What is cuchuco?

If you do not know this term or have never heard of this recipe, I tell you that cuchuco is a food, which consists of corn, barley, or wheat grain, which is peeled and chopped or semi -ground and It used to make soups. This soup is very traditional in Colombia, and to be more specific, in the mountains of the departments of Cundinamarca and Boyacá.

In this case, the soup that we will prepare will be the cuchuco soup, a soup that contains meat substance, peas, carrots, potatoes, and other ingredients that make this soup a delight to the palate.

I still remember the first time I tried this soup, I was tiny, and we were visiting where some relatives of my dad, it was like two in the afternoon when they were serving lunch, for my eyes it was something extraordinary. When I tried it, I wouldn't say I liked its taste.

After that, it took me some time to try a soup like that again. Until at some point we went to lunch at a restaurant, my father ordered his lunch, and I didn't hear that He asked. And after a while, he put me to taste his soup, without telling me anything.

To my surprise, it was cuchuco soup, and it was delicious, from that moment, every time I have the opportunity to prepare it. I do it since it is a delightful soup with great benefits.

So I hope you are encouraged to prepare it at home, in the most delicious way that exists and tell us what your experience with this soup was. Let's cook.

I recommend you prepare chorizo rice or beef ribs broth.
