I have fallen in love with soup-making, and it’s partly due
to its magical ability to extend, revive and reinvent food. It’s an invaluable
way to maximize leftovers and the usually neglected tops and ends of
vegetables.
In honor of the upcoming New Year, and as part of cleaning
out the cabinets, I researched symbolic meanings of certain vegetables and
realized that, altogether, they would make a very delicious soup. I've stretched a few associations but it's all in good fun.
