Update and Redux: C – I have never been a big fan of beans. But, after eating this spicy black bean soup, I started to like beans. I never thought I would. There’s something about the combinations of flavors in this soup that makes me want to eat it over … Continue reading
Update and Redux: J – I can see why Christina has never liked American chicken noodle soup. Compared to Asian chicken soups, they are generally pretty limp in flavor. One big difference is the type of chicken used. Asian chicken soups use the brown chicken that is used in almost … Continue reading
C – Soup Tuesdays! My husband was in awe of a coworker who committed to bringing a new type of bread each week to share with everyone at work. It gave them an appreciation of the art of making bread. Monday’s are great. Everyone looks forward to getting this Monday … Continue reading
