Sopa de mondongo (also known as Chas) is a soup that originally came from Colombia, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. It is made from diced tripe (the stomach of a cow or pig or a Chas) slow-cooked with vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, carrots, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic or root vegetables. The dish is generally prepared in former Spanish colonies in Latin America, Caribbean, and in the Philippines. The proposed etymology for mondongo is in the African Kikongo language, meaning “intestines, entrails of certain animals.[1]
