What kind of soups at Boma?

[doclegler]

We will be doing the buffet at Boma in early November, and I was just wondering what kinds of soups they usually have and what the "should not miss" soups are?? I'm a soup lover and I can't wait to go!!

I remember one was a Squash Soup. I am not a big soup person, but I loved it.

When we ate there last December, they had a great chicken-curry soup. It was delicious. I'm sure they change them from time to time though.

We ate there three times when we stayed at AKL. Soups I can remember are Chicken Pepper Pot, Lentil and Sausage, Carrot and Ginger, Chicken Coconut Curry, Seafood Curry, Seafood and Couscous and my new favourite, Chicken and Corn Porridge.

Which day of the week are you going? The soups rotate daily.

Try them all!!! They're always different whenever we go & I always try 2 or 3 of them and they're ALWAYS delish!!!

My plan of attack at Boma was to only take very small portions of each thing, and to go back for just a bit more of the things I really liked.

The Ginger Carrot soup was so good, that not only did I go back for a large second helping, but I actually looked up the recipe, and have made it 2x! It's not hard, and has Wow! appeal for lunch or dinner company!

Re: the Ginger Carrot Soup: Truly delicious! It's rich, it's a cream soup, but oh so good! (serve in small portions)

The first time, I stuck to the recipe, added more ginger to taste, and it was awesome....
2nd time I swapped Whole Wheat Flour for White Flour in the roux (because I was out of white, it was pouring out, and I didn't want to go to the store nor to the neighbour's)--big mistake! tasted blech!
