“Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.”
—Marge Kennedy
We all LOVE a bowl of warm, hearty, healthy soup on a cold winter day- right? So to my surprise January is National Soup Month in the United States. I have always been a lover of soup. I am a vegetarian and good, old fashioned soup combines all of the ingredients making one delicious, nutritious, convenient meal.
This is my perfect opportunity, in honor of National Soup Month, I would like to share with you my favorite “soup” recipe: Inspirational Soup! I am not much of a cook, those who know me would agree, but Inspirational Soup, we can all make, and I believe it is the foundation of all soups of life really! With this soup no calorie counting is necessary, indulge to your hearts content, and feel grounded in your own greatness and goodness. ENJOY!
