In Ecuadorian cuisine, we eat A LOT of soup. Growing up, we almost always had a soup with every dinner. There are soups for all occassions & from all regions, but this recipe is dear to my heart because it's one of those dishes that ALWAYS makes me feel better. We call this soup "the miracle soup" in my family. Anytime someone was sick, my Abuelita would make this soup and you would instantly feel better; It's honestly better than any medicine.
