“Who would not give all else for two pennyworth only of beautiful soup?”
Mock Turtle in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
While the Mock Turtle was referring to turtle soup, his words ring true for almost any soup. Soup, especially in January, is warming, fortifying and delicious. It can be an opening act for a dinner or complete meal in itself. Best of all, soup is simple to make and one of my favourites is onion soup.
