A lot actually. A good home made soup can bring not only great flavors, but textures and even comfort on a bad day. And they can be an inexpensive one pot meal that’s fast and easy to make.

And the potato soup I made for supper yesterday, evidently contains anti-depresseants.

Once you’ve prepared a really good soup from scratch you appreciate how much effort really goes into all of the subtle flavors. Like a can of soup ain’t shit, but when you peel and chop your own ginger, add chilli and lime, and that’s just the base of the soup before you start adding other things, you’ll get it.

Especially if you’re eating it while getting over a cold, and it’s the first thing you really taste in days.

Soup, soup

A tasty soup, soup

A spicy carrot and coriander

Chilli chowder

Crouton, crouton

Crunchy friends in a liquid broth

I am gazpacho

Ooh

I am a summer soup

Mmm

Miso, miso

Fighting in the dojo

Miso, miso

Oriental prince in the land of soup

Idk there’s some pretty boring soups out there that are mostly water.

But there can be delicious nutritious thick creamy soups too.

You’ve clearly never had a truly great soup

I’ve had two different people tell me that my chicken soup is the greatest soup they’ve ever eaten. If you’re not getting excited about soup, go and find better soup.

The right soup at the right time: Very.
