Thukpa

Thukpa, a thick noodle soup with meat, egg, or just veggies, is a winter delicacy from Nepal's highlands that is frequently served with a side of momo. The thick meat broth of this soup is meticulously seasoned and may be produced from a range of meats, including yak, goat, lamb, and chicken, and is influenced by both Tibetan and Chinese cuisine.

While you're eating a steaming cup of soup with your family, tell them about living in a cold, harsh, mountainous area where hot, nutrient-rich soups aren't just a treat, but a need. Many people's favorite dish is vegetable thukpa. It's a lot like the Sherpa stew you'll come across while walking in the Everest region.

Thukpa may be found all across the nation, mostly in low-cost and mid-range cafés, and is nearly always offered in teahouses along hiking routes. It's especially nice on a chilly Kathmandu winter day, or after a few hours of climbing in the mountains, because it's quite warming.
