An asopao is a thick soup usually with rice in it which people enjoy in Puerto Rico. Actually I like it better in a colder climate.
How do you make it? (BTW, Tomas is my son, and I am staying with him up north.)
I started with a large deep pan with olive oil, green peppers, salt, Oregano, fresh pepper, some chunky chicken soup, rice and started that simmering.
Little by little I added kidney beans (habichuelas), ham, inexpensive steak cut in small pieces, Chinese mustard, soy sauce, a can of beets (I put in the juice of all the canned products used); continue stirring varying the heat from medium while stirring to warm while you prepare ingredients.
After some time I took out each beet since it tasted a little too sweet and they got bloated. I used 2 or 3 kinds of barbecue sauce but you can use what you like. I used Adobo (mixed spices) to make it taste more Puerto Rican.
Let it cook on warm for hours to tenderize the steak but you could use high quality meat.
