Soups have the power to comfort. When the weather turns brisk there is nothing cozier than a big bowl of soup made with the season’s harvest.A piping hot bowl of soup filled with goodness satisfies my soul.In fact mostly dinner at our place is a filling low calorie soup with a salad.It satisfies bot
