Soup's on!

My Little BeaN is feeling a little under the weather so I'm getting out all of Chef Azuki's Soup Recipes and making something warm on these cooler nights.  Let's gather with some comfort food and sit by the fire.  It's time to enjoy the season and keep up our resistance to those cold bugs trying to get in.
