Thanksgiving Feast - Nothing like a good bowl of soup

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and God has blessed me in so many ways... one is the ability to travel and try things that I would never dare, if it wasn't for my hubby. Several years ago, we spent Thanksgiving Day at the Taj Mahal with our good friends and fellow adventurers, Paul and Sandy Thompson. Now, in 2012, we are all celebrating Thanksgiving in Quito,Ecuador. We were looking for a place to have sopa, especially with potatoes. Honestly, South America has the best potatoes. Down the block from our hotel, Carolina Montecarlo, we found a small nondescript cafe, with seven tables... all filled with local workmen. It had to be good, we decided. With a meal for $1.75, how could we go wrong?

The meal was delicious. We didn't drink the mango juice, however. Too early in the trip to get a bad case of the you-know-what! After a nap, we will seek out the next food adventure... it's Thanksgiving after all.
