Is there anything more satisfying and delicious on a cold, blustery day than tortilla soup? It makes the tensions and challenges of the day just melt away. Anything that seemed unpleasant is forgotten in its spicy, thick loveliness. If only there were some kind of intangible balm for the soul that worked as well as tortilla soup does for the stomach! The warmth of a heart-felt thank you, the savory sound of a beautiful song, a kitten's grateful purr after a cold day in a maple tree all come pretty close. Work doesn't even seem a chore, and the time flies by like the crazy whirling leaves rushing to meet the pavement. But, no more snow, please until just around Thanksgiving--then it feels adorable and welcome.

Tortilla soup for the soul
