Sopa de maní is the soup of La Paz winters, a creamy peanut-based broth that blends Andean peanuts with Spanish stew tradition. It is a full meal in a bowl: tender beef, potatoes, carrots, and a tangle of pasta, all swirled with peanut butter’s nutty richness.

The broth is deceptively simple — ground roasted peanuts melted into a golden, slightly thickened base — yet the flavor is deep and nutty, with just enough ají heat to wake you up. Every spoonful carries soft potato, sweet carrot, and shreds of tender beef.
