Soup, Soup and more Soup
George and I often eat lunch at a hotel called the White Parrot. Without a full working kitchen (like a stove and a fridge) and without knowing where to get certain groceries (like meat), it is difficult to prepare food. For that reason, we head over to the White Parrot for lunch a few days a week. Our favorite meal is the pepper steak. Unfortunately, they only have beef a couple days a week otherwise, we would order that every time. On the days they don't, I usually order samosas and soup. Before this pregnancy, I NEVER ordered soup... anywhere. Maybe twice in my life I ordered tortilla soup, but generally I was not a soup fan. Now, I LOVE it. And it doesn't seem to matter what kind. I take whatever they prepare that day. Each day is different. So far I have had tomato, vegetable, cucumber, potato and carrot, pumpkin leaves and today a mystery vegetable. It is made from some sort of leafy green vegetable I don't recognize. All have been good, but my favorites have been potato and carrot, cucumber, and pumpkin leaf. I really want to learn how to make them at home. George and I talked to the manager of the hotel a couple days ago who said I could come and learn how the chefs prepare the soups. I can't wait!

I love that you live in a village and you have a hotel!
ReplyDeleteRemember eating soup in Tonj? 115 degrees...and the soup was hotter!

The village is a stopping place for people traveling through. Many buses stop here for a food and bathroom break. So if you are passing by, join us for lunch at the White Parrot!
ReplyDeleteI will never forget eating soup in Tonj. I think that's why I lost so much weight there. I couldn't eat when it was that hot!
