The Secret Behind Authentic Sopa de Res

January 10, 2026 • 4 min read

Sopa de Res

There's nothing quite like a steaming bowl of Sopa de Res on a chilly Pittsburgh day. This hearty Honduran beef soup has been warming hearts and filling bellies for generations, and at Five Stars Honduras, we make it just like abuela used to.

What Makes It Special?

Our Sopa de Res features:

  • Tender Beef — Slow-cooked until it falls apart
  • Yuca — Starchy cassava root that adds heartiness
  • Corn on the Cob — Sweet corn pieces in every bowl
  • Carrots & Cabbage — Fresh vegetables for color and nutrition
  • Chayote — A mild squash popular in Central America
  • Rich Broth — Simmered for hours with traditional spices

A Bowl of Comfort

In Honduras, Sopa de Res is more than just food — it's medicine for the soul. Families gather around this soup on Sundays, during celebrations, and whenever someone needs a warm hug in a bowl.

The secret is in the slow cooking. We let our soup simmer for hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together into something truly magical.
