Soup that is Filled with Delicious
Posted on: September 22, 2008
Here’s my first sampling of soup in Mexico. I’m really not sure what type of soup this is. Considering my Spanish language skills (or, rather, lack thereof), I feel lucky that I ended up with soup, period. In any case, it is filled with delicious. Well, and celery, potatoes, carrots, and a Mystery Vegetable.

This soup had another bonus: it helped shield me from the fact that the actual entree for this meal was incredibly bland! So bland, in fact, that it’s blandness clouded my senses and caused me to put my camera away before I could document said blandness.
As an aside, I’m a big fan of glass bottles of soda.

I’m Mexican, and this seems to be a fairly simple vegetable soup. The mystery vegetable you’re referring to must be chayote –it is used a lot in soups here in Mexico. Here’s a pic of it: http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/871/50026401.JPG
But you might want to google it up. Personally, I’m not a chayote fan, but it does taste great when filled with ham and cheese.

Thanks for the info! I google image’d “chayote soup” and that definitely looks like what it was.
