Soups and Stews

“Every dish in the ferial cuisine, however, provides a double or treble delight: Not only is the body nourished and
the palate pleased, the mind is intrigued by the triumph of ingenuity over scarcity - by the making of slight materials into a considerable matter. A man can do worse than to be poor. He can miss altogether the sight of the greatness of small things.”

~ Robert Farrar Capon, Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection
