Sopa de guandú con carne salada (Pigeon pea soup with salty meat) is a Colombian cuisine dish. Sopa de guandú is a traditional dish of Colombia's Atlántico department, but many variations are prepared in the Carribean reigon of Colombia, including departments of Sucre and Córdoba.[1]

Aside from the main ingredient of pigeon peas (preferably green), the soup contains salted meat (from the chest), 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) with eggplant, without yuca or salted meat is prepared. In Chinú fresh or salted pork is added. In Sucre a variant lacking ripe plantain and salted meat is prepared.

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