Caldillo De Congrio

Description:

It is no surprise to me that Pablo Neruda wrote a beautiful poem to the Caldillo de Congrio. It is comforting, delicious and nutricious. So you all know I am on my Chile kick - having just returned last week...Caldillo de Congrio is an eel soup, don't get grossed out...once you taste it, you will dream of it forever. I tasted it at the Kaleluche Restaurant in Playa el Caleluche. The place was built by hand by its owners. It is super kitchy. There are glass bottles encrusted into the walls like jewels. The ceiling is decorated by hand painted starfish and shells. And the place is lined by windows just as you would be inside a beautiful boat. If you ever get to go, make sure to ask for a bit of Pebre, it will enhance the deliciousness (is that a word?) of the soup.
