Hache' Chupe Recipe. This is the classic Peruvian breakfast dish that serves an army people. I fondly recall waking up on Sunday mornings and having two or three bowls of Hache' Chupe. The great thing about the dish is you can control the amount of flavor by adding as much or as little of the Huacatay Salsa. The salsa can pack a punch so start with a small quantity to taste.
