Soup has always been a favorite all over the world. Especially in the Winter months, soup is considered a comfort food. It just makes you feel warm and cozy. There are many flavors and consistencies...broths, stews, creams, meat based, and vegetable based. You can eat a lighter soup with a sandwich or eat a heartier stew with a dipping bread. One of my favorites, though, is my mother's pepperoni soup. She makes it when we have family get togethers and there are never leftovers. This lens is a tribute to my mom and her love of family.
