- Asep Haryono | My First Taste of Dutch Cup-a-Soup: An Unexpected Delight - Powered by Blogger
I am so sorry if I am not able to describe precisely just like a native English. I am just telling you about what I have got from a friend of mine who have just returned from his family visit in the Netherlands.
ou wanna know what it was? I’m really sorry if I can’t describe things as clearly or precisely as a native English speaker. I just wanted to share something exciting that I got from a friend who recently returned from a trip to the Netherlands. Want to know what it was? Cup-a-Soup!
OMG, I’m still having trouble describing how it tastes and feels! But before I go further, let me tell you a little about what my friend brought me.
My good friend, Robert Iskandar, had just come back from visiting his sister in the Netherlands about a month ago. He brought back several sachets of Cup-a-Soup and gave some to me. These are exactly like the ones you can probably find photos of online. I won’t go into detail explaining what Cup-a-Soup is you can easily look it up yourself.
Today, I just want to share my personal experience of trying the different flavors he gave me.
Its written in Dutch. I have no idea
"When I try to prepare a glass of the Cup A Soup and saw the preparation to serve in Dutch. Beats me. Its so creamy, and tasty. Pouring hot water and enjoy in the afternoon. Its a good sign of beautiful day. "
Lost in Translation (Literally)
Unfortunately, all the information printed on the back and front of the Cup-a-Soup packaging was written in Dutch so I had no idea how to properly prepare a cup of it. I had to figure it out myself through trial and error!
From what I can tell, it’s similar to the instant soup powders that come in various flavors and are popular worldwide. You just tear the sachet, pour the powder into a cup, add hot water, stir, and you’re done! Super convenient and perfect for a quick snack or light meal.
Here in Indonesia, the most common brand that offers this kind of soup is Knorr. You can find flavors like: Mixed Vegetable, Sweet Corn, Tomato Chatpata, Cream of Corn
My Favorite: Champignon (Cream of Mushroom)
Among all the flavors I tried, my absolute favorite was Champignon, also known as Cream of Mushroom Soup. It was creamy, comforting, and incredibly satisfyingespecially when the weather was cool or rainy.
Cup-a-Soup is a lifesaver for busy people who want something warm and tasty but don’t have the time (or energy) to cook. No stove, no mess just a cup, hot water, and one soup sachet. That’s it!
A Humble (and Funny) Request
If you're reading this and happen to live in a place where Cup-a-Soup is easy to find, would you mind sending a few sachets to me? I know it’s a bit hilarious since we don’t know each other but I really love Cup-a-Soup and I can't find this Dutch version here in Indonesia.
Here’s my address if you feel generous or curious enough to send a packet or two my way:
