Sopa de pata is a hearty Salvadoran soup made from cow's feet, tripe, yuca (also called cassava or manioc), cabbage leaves, chayotes, sweet corn, plantains, and green beans. It may be seasoned with Mexican coriander leaves and flavored to taste with lemon or chile powder.
The inclusion of lemon in the dish serves to counter the richness of the broth. For the same purpose, chopped and pickled onions are sometimes added as a topping.
