Soup Kitchen


From yesterday's post, I bet you thought the picture theme this week was going to be ice cutting. No, the ice cutters in the picture were drinking soup from the little soup shack, and this weeks theme is soup. As a child I did not like soup, but as an adult it is one of my favorite foods. I like soups that are mostly broth, with just a few bits and chunks of goodies. There is nothing better than a well made soup. Mrs. PJM is famous for her green chili soup, and her vegetable soup. 

The picture above was made in 1915, and it shows soup being prepared in a municipal soup kitchen for Belgium relief.
