Are there classic dishes, bird soup, anyone?And then there are the soups that reflect the artistic nature of those who create them with a nod to fiery style and heat!In short, soup is what you need.
With flatbred and an autumn salad as an accompaniment, soup is, in fact, a delicious meal that warms the center and brain and helps us overcome the chaos with which we all seem to be living lately.
