7 surprising reasons to eat more soup
A good list of reasons to eat more soup, which is particularly useful on a cold, snowy day like today. Stonesoup also offers a recipe for Green Curry of Broccoli Soup, which looks pretty delicious (the post includes a bunch of beautiful food photos and a video recipe). Just a nice looking blog in general so kudos to the author. And speaking of curry, we rolled out a Curry Coconut Chicken Soup here at Dig Inn the other day, which is pretty delicious itself.
