Welcome back, fellow soup enthusiasts — we missed you. What a whirlwind of emotions this week has been! From a balmy 50-degree Saturday to unexpected snow on Tuesday, it is amazing how quickly things can change. But whatever the temperature, one thing stays constant: the comfort produced by a good bowl of soup.
Welcome to the first installment of the Daily’s finest soup column. Whether you are a soup novice or enthusiast, we’re thrilled you’re here. Our passion for soup started when we realized something important: Soup builds community. It warms and nurtures, bringing people together regardless of season and texture.
