Whether classic comfort food or a modern take from one of the Latin culinary world's leading chefs, there is a warming restorative here to suit any taste. From a creamy chilled avocado soup to a bright and sour Lime Soup, all the way to earthy, slow-cooked stews of tender beans and succulent meats, it's time to say Olé to soup night!
