Ingredients

  • 1 Salami - Sliced or Cubed
  • 1 thick slice of ham - cubed
  • 4 potatoes - chunked into bite friendly pieces - smaller the pieces shorter the cook time - peeling optional - I generally quarter baby Dutch yellow potatoes
  • 2 corn on the cob - sliced into smaller pieces
  • 2 carrots - sliced
  • 1/4 white onion - roughly chopped
  • 1/4 of green pepper - roughly chopped
  • 1 can or small jar of red peppers
  • 1/2 fistful of cilantro
  • 1 TBSP mashed or minced garlic
  • Adobo a gusto
  • 1 packet of Sazon
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 small can of tomato sauce
  • thin spaghetti noodles

Instructions

  • Take a huge pot, on medium heat, and add salami, a little olive oil (like 2tsp) which is optional, and a teaspoon of garlic, onion, and sprinkle some adobo over it.
  • Start chopping ham first if need be, but in a few minutes, stir, and then a few minutes later, add the ham and mix it all up.
  • Start chopping veggies. In a few minutes, add 4 cups of water.
  • The idea is to slightly fry the meats until they feel cooked, until some of the grease comes out.
  • Go ahead an add seasoning to the water - Sprinkle some Adobo, add a packet of Sazon and 2 chicken bouillon cubes. Mix it a bit.
  • Chop all the veggies and add them to the pot.
  • When you add the red pepper, it's ok to add some of the red pepper juice from the jar or can. I usually grab the peppers with my hands or fork and add those that way, and then dump about 1/4 of the jar's juice into the pot.
  • Add a heaping teaspoon of garlic.
  • Add the can of tomato sauce and cover with water (about 4 more cups of water).
  • Bring to a boil, and then let simmer for about 45 minutes
  • When the veggies (mainly the potatoes and corn) are cooked thoroughly, add the noodles and cook until those soften.
