My Favorite (Western) Soups

I don't drink them for therapy or weight loss. I drink them coz they taste great! But for those interested in its health benefits, I just chanced upon this article today. Apparently Soup Therapy entails detoxification, losing weight & boosting immunity! Check it out!

Goulash

I recently discovered a steakhouse in Shenzhen (China) which serves excellent Goulash. My aunt used to cook them at home too although it's not as good as what I've had in this restaurant. It's a good thing that it's very economical too. Just $1.50 for a huge helping.

Flaki

Polish origin. A kind of beef-tripe soup which taste Chinese if you ask me. If you've ever tried Dim Sum beef-tripe in Hong Kong or Toronto, you'll know what it tastes like. Very similar to that. Anyway, I enjoyed it so much I ordered 2 helpings at one of the restaurant in Krakow!

Clam Chowder

The best Clam Chowder I've had was in Boston. It was so good that it had enticed me to go beyond and checked out other soups whenever I toured around Europe. However, the best clam chowder I've ever tried is still that from Legal Seafood Restaurant in Boston (Long Wharf, 255 State Street).
See the full review, "Creamy and yummy".

Oxtail Soup

It is made with beef tails, be it the Western or Chinese style. Other than that, there's the Indonesian style Sop Buntut as well. I've tried them all and I love them all. It can be filling, so order not merely as a soup but kinda like an entire dish on its own.

Nice list, Sherrie. I'm also very fond of ratatouille and cassoulet. Have you ever tried them?

Sharrie January 26, 2010

No. I'm not very fond of beans. Ratatouille looks like Indonesian Acar :-)

Mmmmm at this drool-worthy list :) I drink soup for therapy, but sometimes I drink it for the health benefits, too. I don't know about these particular soups for weight loss, though, considering how creamy they are... they just might do the opposite for me, but as long as they're tasty... ;P Thanks for sharing, Sharrie!
