Soup for the Birthday Blues
Oh I know what you must be thinking. Soup? in the summer? But why?
And to that, dear readers, all I can say is things don’t always happen as planned…
For example, I was planning on sharing a birthday cake with you today. No, scratch that, I wanted to make birthday creme brulee (my specialty). But, when you get sick on your birthday, like fever-laden, cold-ridden, tied-to-your bed sick, it’s a little hard to think about cake…or even creme brulee, even if it is your birthday.
Yes, sadly, on my birthday, all I could think about was soup. And when you’re drowning in a metaphorical bowl of self pity, you might as well top it off with a real bowl of soup. And hey, soup is supposed to make you get better, right?
So if any of you feel struck with the sick plague this summer, let there be plenty of soup recipes to go around. Even if it is summer.
