Comforting Cuban chicken soup is on every abuela's arsenal! This is the cure if anyone has a cold or is just a bit under the weather! Chicken noodle soup seems so basic I almost didn't add this recipe to the blog, but it's my favorite soup and it just takes me back to my childhood and feeling loved on when I had a cold. Lots of love goes into making this Cuban chicken soup and even if it doesn't cure the common cold, it cures the common cold blues.

These meringue cookies, known as merenguitos, are a traditional Cuban cookie that’s easy to make with just three ingredients! It’s the perfect treat to whip up with the leftover egg whites you’ll have after making crema de vie (aka Cuban eggnog). Crema de vie and merenguitos are quite pair at Christmas time.

Cubans have their own version of eggnog known as crema de vie, and if you have a sweet tooth, you've got to try it! The Spanish translation for Crema de Vie is cream of life, and I can see why it's called that. It tastes a lot like spiked flan because it has very similar ingredients.

Now is the perfect weather to enjoy a nourishing bowl of garbanzo bean soup! But honestly, we make this Cuban garbanzo bean soup year-round… and I live in sunny Miami. This bean soup is very simple to make and tastes so, so good. So filled with meat and veggies, it’s hearty enough to be a meal. I like to have a nice big bowl with a bit of bread on the side. It’s comfort food at its best!

Torticas de Moron are a wonderful Cuban shortbread cookie that’s simple to make and so delicious! The shortening makes this cookie perfectly crumbly and once you bite into it just melts in your mouth. And it’s made even more irresistible with a dollop of guava paste!
