One thing that i have always noticed is when I’m making soup,it’s always a very calm experience,something about having a pot of liquid on a slow simmer with the aromas wafting,changing with the addition of another ingredient,there is no hurry no frenzy,the build up of flavours takes a bit of time and while waiting,stirring,my thoughts always drift to the person/persons who will be tasting it…while this happens with almost every dish I cook…with soups I do feel the thoughts linger longer almost as if it matches the way a soup is cooked …in a lingering fashion on the stove…and it always never fails to bring a smile in my thoughts and on my face !
