Recipe Tips

•

When cooking the beef, sear it first in a hot pan with a little oil before adding it to the pot. This will enhance the flavor and create a rich base for your sopas.

•

To prevent the cabbage from becoming mushy, add it in the last 30 minutes of cooking. This keeps the cabbage tender but still retains some crunch, adding texture to the dish.

•

Avoid overcooking the sopas by keeping an eye on the liquid level. If it evaporates too much, add a bit of water or broth to prevent the mixture from becoming too thick or burning at the bottom.
