Cook with Us #27 - Post Your Entry Here

in #cookwithus6 years ago (edited)

Cook with Us #27 Theme: Soup

Soup is so many things. It is warmth when you are cold. It is medicine when you are sick. Soup can be refreshing and cooling when you are hot. It is comforting and restorative. Soup can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Soup can be pureed, chunky, creamy, thin, spicy or bland. Above everything, soup is nourishing and familiar to all people.

This week the Cook with Us team would like to experience your favorite homemade soup from your unique point of view. Tell us the story behind this soup and what this meal means to you when you have it. When and why do you prepare this soup? For whom do you prepare this soup? Or maybe someone prepares this soup for you? Have fun this week and share with the CwU community a little bit of your culinary story.

A huge thanks to @curie and @sneaky-ninja's sponsorship which made Season Three possible!

There are few things better on a cool fall day (or anytime really) than a nice bowl soup. And, I was so looking forward to sharing one of my favorite regional soups with the Cook With Us family. Unfortunately, it is not to be. Somehow, I managed to fall up the stairs and sprained my knee. Swelling and pain kept me off my feet most of the day. And, Sunday dinner was take-out Chinese instead of the pot of homemade soup I was savoring. Oh well, I will just spend the rest of the evening salivating over all the delicious looking entries for this weeks soup competition. All the best and I hope to be back in the kitchen for next week's competition.

Omg, I am so sorry. Take good care of yourself and get well soon. We will see you in the near future.

Sorry to hear about your fall. I hope you have a quick recovery!

I hope you feel better soon xx

Ah we'll miss your lovely recipe - but get well soon
