Ingredients
Scale
- 1 salchichon
- 1 cup potato (peeled and cubed)
- 8 cups water
- 4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1/4 cup sofrito
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 lb spaghetti
- 2 envelopes sazon
- 2 tsp adobo seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup olives
- 3 ears corn (chopped in half)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
- Sauté the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced salchichon and diced onions, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
- Blend in the sofrito, tomato sauce, adobo, and sazon. Let this mixture cook for one minute, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully together.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients, except for the cilantro and spaghetti. Pour in the 8 cups of water and bring everything to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the spaghetti to the bubbling pot. Cook until both the spaghetti and potatoes are tender—roughly about 10-12 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper according to your taste, and finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro. A squeeze of fresh lime is a delightful touch for a zesty finish!
