So'o Yosopy — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

A thick, rustic Paraguayan soup of ground beef cooked with corn flour, fresh vegetables, and aromatic herbs — hearty sustenance from the countryside.

Ingredients

1 Crumble ground beef into cold water in a large pot. Stir to separate the meat — this is the key technique.
2 Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3 Mix corn flour with a little cold water to make a slurry. Stir into the soup to thicken.
4 Simmer 20 min until flavors meld and soup thickens. Add cumin, salt, and pepper.
5 Stir in chopped parsley and scallions in the last 2 min.
6 Serve hot, garnished with cilantro.
