This week’s special guest is my friend, Sarah Blades. Her childhood babysitter used to make her this soup and she’s loved it ever since. She didn’t know the true origins of it, but after a quick Google search, I found that it’s based on a traditional Peruvian soup called Chupe de Camarones. This is a more simplified version using basic ingredients you can find in any grocery store, but it still packs a ton of flavor. Adding cottage cheese to soup might sound odd, but it actually adds a great creamy texture!
