"I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness."
--John 12:46
Finally! It is cool enough to have soups again. It has been warm for so long---the children were running through the sprinkle on October 1st--can you believe it?!---that it almost seemed like fall would never come! I've slightly adapted this recipe from Far Above Rubies, page 547.
