Sopa de picadillo

Sopa de picadillo is a traditional dish originating from Andalusia. The dish consists of a clear broth with ham and chopped hard-boiled eggs. It's made with a combination of beef or chicken stock, chopped jamón serrano, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and crushed vermicelli. The stock is brought to a boil, and then the vermicelli are added for a few minutes, followed by salt and jamón serrano. The broth is ladled into bowls, while the chopped eggs are passed so everyone can sprinkle some of them on top of the broth. There's also an interesting variation on the dish where it's prepared with the addition of sherry, imparting an intriguing flavor to sopa de picadillo. This dish is said to be the cure for all ills, so it's often consumed during winter.
