i've been obsessing over soups these days, much to my husband's dismay.  unless it's got meat in it or is doused in worcestershire sauce, my husband doesn't want to eat it.  my compromise: make my beloved soups but have a bowl of bacon or sausage on the side for him to spoon into his bowl.  if he can make it thick enough so it is no longer soup, all the better.

anyway, soup.  delicious, simple, nourishing.
