Spanish term or phrase: cocido / puchero
These are usually translated as STEW, however, I need to differentiate them. "Puchero" here would be a more 'liquid' stew. Got any ideas?

Como puede ver, es muy parecido al típico cocido y se sirve de igual manera.
También se puede servir como un puchero, es decir...

Explanation:
I'd work with synonyms such as pottage, hot-potch, soup, broth. As a matter of fact, in Spain the names of such dishes vary from region/town/family to the next a great deal. The way I see it (Andalusia), what they are calling a puchero is the cocido minus "la pringá" (meat-chicken separated to be eaten as second course or left-over)

not casserole


Explanation:
a casserole is usually cooked in the oven. Cocido and Puchero are stewed over a flame.
