Soups

In the interview that I did with Mamie and Christiane, two wonderful very sweet French ladies from the village of Ambialet, they had talked about soups. As we enter into December here in Ambialet, it is starting to get colder and colder. It has even started snowing. I can see where a nice warm soup and a very cold day would be delicious. They had mentioned that one of the soups that are local to this area is an onion soup (Touraine). You heat up some oil add water, salt, a little bit of tomatoes and then some cut up onions. It wasn’t until someone said that this soup is French onion soup that I made the connection (after all, we are in France). I know that I love french onion soup. They also had mentioned soup au fromage, cheese soup, which isn’t a soup at all. They also talked about a local Albi recipe for a radish soup.
