Galicia is located in the north western corner of Spain. While the region is most famously known for its seafood, this hearty soup is also a signature dish of that part of Spain. It’s the kind of soup/stew that varies according to who is making it. Generally, you will find meats such as Spanish chorizo, smoked ham, bacon, beef bones, potatoes, turnips, turnip greens and some type of white beans. The ingredients depended much on what vegetables were available in one’s farm or depended on the season. My recipe starts with how my grandmother made it and, after researching some of the recipes from Spain, I have added a few different touches of my own. While most make this dish during cold weather, I could eat it any time of year.

So yummy!
