Caldo de Papas, or potato soup, is a hearty and comforting dish originating from Ecuadorian cuisine. This traditional soup typically features potatoes as the star ingredient, simmered in a flavorful broth made with onions, garlic, ají (hot pepper), fresh cilantro, and sometimes a splash of milk for creaminess. Many versions include chunks of cheese, corn, or hard-boiled eggs, adding to its rich texture and flavor. Packed with complex carbohydrates from potatoes and antioxidants from herbs like cilantro, it’s a satisfying source of energy. When prepared with minimal oil and low-fat dairy, it’s a wholesome and nutritious option. However, richer versions with full-fat cheeses or excessive salt should be consumed in moderation. Caldo de Papas is not only a delicious taste of South American tradition but also a versatile and nourishing dish that can adapt to various dietary preferences.
