Today we are landing on the last letter in the alphabet series and am so happy I could make it till z this time. Enjoyed thourughly the world cuisine we explored this month , Impressed my daughter and H with some unknow new dishes and am so happy I could make it. Thanks to valli for thinking about such wonderful theme , I enjoyed reading and knowing about so new countries and cook some recipes from them which I myself had hard time in pronouncing. Glad that I could make it till z. For my last letter in the series I wanted to make platter but my lappy crashed again 🙁 seriously don’t know Y this year I had to fight a lot with my laptop and bcoz of which I couldn’t be punctual some times. Anyway am praying god that H should gift me a new lappy soon 😉 .. Ok for letter z I chose Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is officially called as republic of zimbabwe located in south africa. Zimbabwe literally means House of stones, here at meal time before eating a bowl of water is placed to wash our hands.It is strictly considered impolite if a person uses left for eating here.Guest are served instead of having self service. They ave 3 meals a day The breakfast may consist cornmeal or oat meal ,tea, bread etc. They have this yummy orange soup which is traditional and orginated from colonial zimbabwe. I chose this healthy and unique soup to end up my mega marathon this month. It was so much fun reserching, cooking , clicking and blogging about each country. Now lets move to the soup recipe..

Oranges and tomatoes is an interesting combination. Wonder how it tastes. I have tried orange and spinach soup but never this combination. Orange and tomato soup as a nice orange color. Lovely.
