There’s a reason why ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ is not just a saying.
Holding a warm bowl of soup on a chilly day is one of the most simple pleasures in life. We all know that feeling of inhaling the steam from the bowl, letting it curl and caress your face. The first spoonful’s gut feeling of warmth radiating out, melting stress away. Soup can be incredibly nourishing, it’s what we bring to our loved ones when they are ill, or going through difficult times of transition. It’s a food that expresses love, and right now we could probably use more of that in our lives.
