This has been one heck of a season. What goes well with a really hot summer…Soup?

Yup, that’s the first thing that comes to mind…maybe and maybe not.

Believe it or not, I was at a restaurant and on the specials board was their soup of the day. I thought…hmmm – soup.

I think that it is completely normal and even a good idea to offer soup, even in the summer.

• Even in the heat of the summer.
• Even when it is 90 degrees plus.

There are people who sit in an over air-conditioned office all day long. When they leave to go out for lunch, actually feel more comfortable when they get into a super heated car and have the opportunity to look at the specials board and decide, definitively, that they will have a nice bowl of hot summer soup. (Summer soup can also be cold. One of my favorites. Vichyssoise. Oh, I hope that is on the specials board tomorrow!)
