Puchero
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This dish is often called a thick soup, but in my opinion, it's closer to a stew than a soup. The main advantage is that you can make it with absolutely any vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the tastier the dish will turn out. Additionally, ingredients often include peas or lentils, for example. Here's a simple version for you. Serve hot.
