Fuego Caldo

A super spicy Soup eaten at the Weddings of the Angels of Fire

Written by CoolG1319

What Is It?

Fuego Caldo (fire soup in Spanish) is an insanely spicy soup the  Angels of Fire enjoy at their weddings. It is consumed during the Bibere Lava, a friendly competition where the groom and wingmen must finish a large bowl of the soup in under a minute without letting the stinging spice set in.

Presentation

The soup is quite thin with different-coloured vegetables floating on the top and its red, orange and yellow colouration gives it the appearance of lava. It is served in an ornately carved wooden bowl with two rubies glued to the front. One would immediately notice tiny bursts of fire shooting out from the dish.

Ingredients

  • Mordaz pepper slices
  • Ground Abrasad peppers
  • Salt
  • Incene chilli broth
  • Various chopped vegetables

Preparation

  1. Take a large wooden bowl and squeeze 20 Incene chillis into it. Wear gloves whilst doing this so the chilli's liquid won't burn your skin and thoroughly wash them after use!
  2. Pour the chilli liquid into a pot and boil for 15 minutes until it is properly boiled.
  3. Take 4 cups and portion the boiled broth equally, then cover them so the heat won't escape.
  4. Slice 5 Mordaz peppers, grind some Abrasad peppers (only add 3 tbsp), chop up some vegetables then put them into an empty pot.
  5. Pour the cups of Incene chilli broth into the pot and add 1 tsp of salt. Boil for 30 minutes.
  6. Serve the soup in an ornately carved bowl and now you have Fuego Caldo! Congratulations!

Taste

The moment a single drop of the soup so much as tickles the tongue, one would be instantly caught off-guard and thrown back by the potent spice and pepper. Their eyes would turn into gushing fountains of tears, their cheeks would turn an alarmingly bright red, and their mouth would fill with a huge cloud of spice. If not quickly swallowed, the cloud would build up, becoming unbearable to contain, and when one opens their mouth, it escapes in the form of a long jet of fire (don't worry, no injuries are sustained from consuming the soup).

Subsequent consumption of the soup lessens the effects of the spice and one can properly appreciate the soup's peppery, nose-tingling, mouthwatering goodness!
The first time drinking this soup, the spice is extremely intense and unbearable; it's as though the inside of your mouth is set ablaze! But around the second or third time, the spice becomes manageable and you finally get a good taste of the soup. It's really, really scrumptious!
