Sopa de pata is widely seen as a hangover cure in El Salvador, which is why market cocinas sell so much of it on weekend mornings.
A hearty soup built on simmered cow's foot, plantain, yuca, corn, cabbage, and squash in a light broth, seasoned with lime and mint at the table. Market cocinas across El Salvador sell it by the bowl from huge pots.
Why it's made this way: Sopa de pata is eaten across El Salvador, most often as a weekend meal, and big pots of it are a fixture of town-market cocinas.
