"Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!"
-Lewis Carroll, Author
The refrigerator light goes on...
Soup is the perfect meal. Simple, warming, comforting soup. The easiest soups are the best soups and this one is simple but full of flavor. I once watched Gordon Ramsey make a fantastic Cream of Broccoli soup with broccoli, water, salt and a little cracked pepper. Simple good ingredients make great dishes.
