Traditional Cracked Corn Soup - Sopa de Chacales

Chacales Soup is a traditional meat-free recipe made with cracked corn. Making it the perfect recipe to prepare during Lent or all year round. The unique texture and flavor of the soup take me back to the time spent in my mom's kitchen. The aroma of the soup, while it simmered on the stove, was simply divine, and every spoonful was an explosion of flavors in my mouth.
