Ellendesoep

This is soto, also called ellendesoep, or miserysoup .....

If your misereble from flu, living in the US and your friend lives in Holland too far away to cook for you, you could........
 prepare a little and lay down, prepare some more and lay down again. This will take time but after a while your soup will be ready, with a wonderful flavor and will make you healthy again.
