Autumn Love Soup


Well this one fits all year around but especially in the autumn. When the cold kicks in its nice to have some hot soup. Soup is also easy to change and make variations of. Its because of that its so loveable. But its not just that, its really a satisfaction at the end of the process an I am not talking about doing the dishes. No it fills up your belly nicely. Speaking of doing the dishes, making the soup out in the wild on a stove are fine too, the dishes are close to none as you lick your plate clean to the last drop. Nah, but close. A bit of bread and there are not much left. The wild variation have less ingredients. And…am I really writing this?
