Lohikeitto, Finnish salmon soup, so comforting.
Khao soi is still the best soup I've ever had.
Vori vori at #1, nice to see Paraguay on top of something 😄
Pho should be top 3 at least
Khao soi in Chiang Mai is truly one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Cullen skink on a cold Scottish day, perfect.
