This instant soup (add hot water, wait one minute) supposedly tastes like super-spicy habanero chilis. I wonder if it's tasty? If anyone has tried it, please let me know.

I wouldn't mind giving this a try, never had an habanero though. I'll have to check the Asian market downtown.

Habaneros are the hottest peppers around. What's particularly interesting about them is that while there's a searing level of pain, you still taste the fruitiness of the pepper itself. Habaneros are not to be taken lightly. A little bit of habanero hot sauce goes a LONG way, so if you do find this soup. be careful.
