Chupe andino refers to various stews and soups that are prepared in the Andes mountains region in South America.[1][2] Chupe Andino may be prepared by Andean people, those that live in the region.[2] It is sometimes prepared in large portions to feed many people at marketplaces and events.[3][4] Chupe Andino is sometimes served with wine as an accompaniment.[1][2] Soups and stews play a significant part in Andean cuisine, because the cold weather in the region demands nutritious, fatty foods that are warming.[2]
