Cazuela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cazuela (as it is named in Chile) is a Spanish-originated soup. It's a mid-thick rich flavoured stock obtained from cooking several kinds of meats and vegetables mixed together. The most common types of Cazuelas in Chile are the chicken or beef, but there's also another type made from Pork that's very popular.
The typical Cazuela in one dish contains: a piece of meat (it can be a piece of rib in the case of beef, or a leg of chicken), a potato and a piece of pumpkin, and the stock obtained from boiling this. Complementary to these components can be: cooked rice (in the stock), green beans, celery branchs, sliced carrots, baby onions, garlic, baby cabbage, among others. In summer the cazuela is accompanied by a big yellow piece of sweetcorn, cooked apart or in the same stock.
