Main ingredientsPigeon pea, ñame, yuca, salted meat, mature plantain, chicharrón, various vegetables

Aside from the main ingredient of pigeon peas (preferably green), the soup contains salted meat (brisket); ñame; yuca; ripe plantain; vegetables such as onion, ají dulce, spring onion, and cilantro; as well as condiments such as cumin, salt, and pepper. Chicharrón may be added. The soup is accompanied with white or coconut rice, yuca buns, and sugarcane juice.[2]

In Córdoba, a mote de guandú (pigeon pea hominy) is prepared with eggplant rather than yuca or salted meat. In Chinú, fresh or salted pork is added. In Sucre, a variant lacking ripe plantain and salted meat is prepared.

Sopa de guandú con carne salada is considered a traditional food of the Barranquilla Carnival because the legume is harvested there around that date.
