Guinness world record

The pretty Mexican city of Durango is usually a quiet, sleepy place, but recently

something special happened. Last week the people of Durango created a very

large bowl of soup, the largest bowl of soup in the world in fact! Romania held

the old record for the largest bowl of soup, which contained 5045 litres of soup!

The Mexican bowl broke that record, however, as it contained an amazing 5350

litres of soup.

The people of Durango spent months planning this project. Cooking the soup

was a hard job, but finding a cooking pot big enough was also difficult! A month

was spent planning and building the bowl. Local farmers provided the food that

was needed. All the local restaurants offered their chefs to make the soup. Many

local people worked as waiters and cleaners for the day. The local schools put on

a day-long show of music and dancing. Thousands of people came to the town to

10

celebrate the super-sized soup. The cooks had a lot of work to do to prepare the

soup. For example, they had to cut up 530 kg of onions and use 100 litres of

vegetable oil!

This project has shown the people of Durango that people can do anything when

they work together. We look forward to hearing about their next world record!
