Instructions

Saute the onion, green pepper, garlic, and tomatoes in olive oil. Once the sofrito is soft, add the chorizo and ham. Saute, then deglaze the pot with 2 cups of water. 

Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to mingle. Add potatoes and seasoning and cook until potatoes are almost done. 


Add the beans, juice and all, and continue to cook over medium heat until potatoes are done (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and serve.

Stephanie · You should indeed. It is SO good. Plus, it freezes well in single servings that last up to six months. I eat this on a weekly basis, true story!

lara · Wow, sounds great! Do you have any pics of the finished product? It seems like it must be pretty thick, right?

Stephanie · No pictures, sorry. It does turn out thick, almost like a chilli or stew consistency. It's really good over rice. My favorite thing to do with potaje since I was little is this: Take the end piece of a loaf of cuban bread and hollow out the center to make a little bread cup. Then, fill it with the soup. It's thick enough that you can eat it like a sandwich!
