Simple Soup Does The Job




It is getting cold. The chill you to the bones kind of cold. I have been finding smart ways to warm up but if your body needs a full-on jolt of heat, then soup is the easiest way to go. I enjoyed this delicious carrot and potato soup for brunch a few weeks back from The Beach Cafe. It was perfectly seasoned and portioned with just a bit of heat to wake up the palette as well as warm the soul. A smooth soup texture paired well with the crusty bread I used to dip and taste. No crumbly bits and no leftover soup either. This was absolutely the cure for my coldness.

 Soup is simple but it has to be good in order to do the job. This one did. 
Stay warm out there!

Succumbed to Soup

It's getting cold. I tried to ignore this and wear jean cut-offs the other day to lunch but to no avail. Mother Nature won that seasonal style battle and I was freezing while shopping by 4pm. So today I succumbed to soup and was it worth it! A hearty house-made vegetarian minestrone. We ordered two large bowls and they were passed round the tiny table giving everyone a sample. It was delicious. It warmed us. Bellies were filled. It was the perfect day for minestrone. Leaves are falling as I write this and I am absolutely looking forward to soup season.
