An Ode to Soup

I think that soup is really the ultimate form of food. Different flavours all dancing together in a delicious mush. Each one is unique. A soup's flavour comes from which vegetables, herbs, spices, beans, rices and other ingredients you use (lime juice and coconut milk are some of my favourites), as well as which ingredients are playing the starring roles and which are playing back ups. Blending half of the ingredients after they've been cooked, then adding them back to the pot makes the soup creamy and hearty.
Another fantastic thing about soup is that you can make them in big batches and be set for days! Or feed a group of hungry friends.
Today I made Mulligatawny Soup ( an Indian soup, apparently) from a recipe in 'How it all Vegan.' It was delicious and yellow. Served with stone milled multi-grain crackers.
I am currently enjoying a cup of Chamomile Lemon Tea.
