"Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!"
-Lewis Carroll, Author
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.
