About this Recipe
“Sopita is a favorite of mine, particularly on cold days. My Nana used to make this all the time for me. She’d even add zucchini as I got older requesting it. It’s a warm meal when I’m needing some comfort, or a great quick meal in the middle of the day too. My two sons’ younger years included sopita almost daily. They still ask for it now, being 13 and 16. It’s definitely a cherished comfort food”
