Fall and winter have always been "soup time" for me. That's when I drag out all the old recipes or try new ones. This one is new for me, but not a new dish by any means. It's another favorite from the L.S. Ayre's Tea Room (1905-1990). Recipe: L.S. Ayres Tea Room Recipes & Recollections Photo source: forkful.net
