With
these cold Winter months we're experiencing, many of us fall victim to
the cold and flu. Being sick is not something I have ever enjoyed.
However, the one thing I think we all looked forward to when we were
young, was staying home sick. Of course, this didn't fix the pain,
constant coughing, runny nose or our dependency on others. Thankfully I
had a mother who was home during most of the day, and when I had to stay
home, there was always one food she would make for me.
Sopa
de Res is a type of soup my mother makes from our homeland. It's a
Nicaraguan-soup that is just full of great stuff like meat, plantain,
summer squash, carrots, cassava root, corn, cabbage, cilantro and many
other veggies and herbs simmering together. The result is a hot soup
with a great light but very rich broth. It takes a lot of work to make
sopa de res, but the result it delicious, and it's something I always
associate with being under the weather. Of course, eating any type of
hot soup while sick will make your nosy runny, and that's where Kleenex
comes in. Some people just run to the toilet paper, but I have sensitive
skin and Kleenex tissues never makes my nose feel rough or irritates
it.
