Heat oil in a pot to seal the beef ribs.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is slightly transparent.

Add the chopped tomato, green bell pepper, carrots, and celery to the pot.

Prepare the wheat and corn by soaking them the day before; they should be cooked for 2-3 hours.

Use bone broth for the soup base instead of water, straining it to remove small bones and excess fat.

Add the beef ribs back into the pot with the broth and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Cut the potatoes into long pieces.

Mash the chuño (dried potato) to remove its bitterness.

After 30 minutes, add the wheat and chicken wings to the pot.

Season with salt to taste and let it boil for 15 minutes.

Add the potatoes and peas to the pot after 10-15 minutes of boiling.

After 5 minutes, add the mashed chuño to the pot.

Let it simmer for another 5 minutes before adding the mote (hominy) last, which only needs a few minutes to heat through.

Allow the soup to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
