We all have different ways of dealing with hangovers. But, for people from South America, there is nothing like beating that morning misery while having a bowl of their favorite Latino food. Check out these five Latin dishes for your hangover cure.

Venezuela's Chupe de Gallina

This broth-based soup are made up, primarily, of garlic, chicken, corn, potatoes, onion and sometimes milk, and cubed cheese (optional). The chicken meat and potatoes are cut in small cubes that adds flavor to this yummy soup, according to the Latin Times. The Chupe de Gallina is similar to sancocho, which is another delicious stew from Latin America.

Mexican Menudo

While this dish from Mexico may not be for everyone's taste, menudo is still the go-to hangover cure for some people. This dish is made up of beef tripe stewed in red chili and broth. Lime, onions, cilantro, oregano and chili peppers are added to give the soup its strong, but very tasty flavor. According to Cosmopolitan, the high fat content in the soup because of the tripe coats the lining of your stomach and helps in relieving one's gastric problems, such those brought about by a late night's heavy drinking.
