Carbonada Chilena
Chilean beef-and-vegetable soup with rice, potatoes, peas and optional spinach.

About Carbonada Chilena
Pilar Hernandez's Chilean carbonada combines diced beef, vegetables and rice in a seasoned broth. Her soup-style rendition includes onion, carrot, celery, red pepper, potatoes and peas.
Oregano, paprika, cumin and bay flavour the pot alongside salt and pepper. The beef is browned before the vegetables and rice join it, and spinach is an optional addition near the end.
The finished carbonada is served hot. Small pieces of meat and vegetables sit among the rice and broth, making a spoonable meal; Hernandez also describes a drier form of the same dish.
