I am a determined believer that the soup is one of the greatest creations of the cuisine of mankind. When you think about it, there are not many dishes there that are applicable, thin and versatile, but the soup boasts all these qualities and then some! Growing up as a cooking connoisseur, I recall vividly the soup that is one of my early kitchen experiments. However, being the very creative and chaotic child I was, my recipes often included some unusual ingredients (the stars of my soup were grass and pond water – if it helps to paint a figure). I have refined my definition of what is considered “food” and have learned to exchange grass cuttings and ponds for herb AND soup. Although my secret ingredients may be a little different now, the soup still stands like my favorite dish to do!
