Olla Podrida
Rooted in medieval Spanish history, Olla Podrida remains a symbol of community, bringing families together around the table. Laroot version embraces a lighter, approach with chicken breast (a warming protein in TCM) and chicken chorizo in place of traditional ingredients like pig’s ear, pork ribs, and sausages. A melody of kidney beans, chickpeas, potatoes, savoy cabbage, leeks, and tomatoes pay homage to this soup's roots. The flavors remain hearty and rich, infused with garlic, celery, onions, olive oil, and warming spices like thyme, coriander, saffron, and bay leaf.
