Good Recipes: Plant-Based Soups
Soup: The Ultimate One-Pot Dinner
I remember the first time I was served homemade soup at a dinner party. I was in my late 20s, and the concept of homemade soup was 100% foreign to me. Campbell’s made soup, and it came out of a can. Period. (In retrospect, my grandmother made homemade chicken soup every Friday night, but somehow that didn’t register).
My spouse and I had just moved to Boston, and I figured it was a Yankee thing. I don’t remember what kind of soup we were served, only that it was “fancy.” What I do remember is being so impressed I called my mother the next day to report the news: My first grown-up dinner party, with a formally set table, real silver, and homemade soup.
