Fanesca

Ingredients

According to Wikipedia:
Fanesca is a soup traditional to Ecuador. It is typically prepared and served only in the week before Easter. It is a rich soup, with the primary ingredients being figleaf gourd (sambo), pumpkin (zapallo), and twelve different kinds of beans and grains (chochos (lupines), habas (fava beans), lentils, peas, corn and others) representing the twelve apostles of Jesus, and bacalao (salt cod), cooked in milk, due to the Christian religious prohibition against red meat during Holy Week (the week before Easter). It is also generally garnished with hard boiled eggs, fried plantains, herbs, parsley, and sometimes empanadas.

Molo (mashed potatoes)

Sounds like too many ingredients in one bowl, but it was delicious! Ours came with mashed potatoes and a glass of warm rice with sweet milk (fairly common accompaniments). Perfect!
