Ecuador’s Cuenca sets Guinness Record with 1.4-tonne traditional soup: Video
Thousands gathered at San Francisco Square in Cuenca as the city prepared what organisers said was the world’s largest serving of mote pata, a traditional Andean soup, officially certified by Guinness World Records.
The final dish weighed 1,433 kilograms, far exceeding the 500-kilogram minimum required for certification. Around 30 people spent five days preparing the ingredients before completing the record-breaking cook. Following official confirmation, nearly 10,000 portions were distributed to the public, as part of Cuenca’s ongoing Carnival celebrations aimed at promoting local gastronomy and supporting the city’s economy.
