In this dish you may know heaven, Pablo Neruda wrote in Ode to Conger Chowder. The poem walks readers through how to make the soup in slow, romantic verses.
If you treat it as such, soup can be one of the most decadent, satisfying and enchanting dishes to make and to consume. It's often brushed off as a side dish or a way to use up leftover ingredients, but if that's all you think it is, you're not doing it right.
Soup-making can be cozy, quirky or both. Light a candle as you peel your carrots and measure your cayenne, take in the peacefulness and multisensory nature of this ritual.
Around this time each year, I love to host a gathering where each guest brings a different kind of soup and we all spend the evening sampling everyone's creations.
