Scrumptious Soup Recipes from Around the World

Posted by Edna B. Wilson on

Soup makes the perfectly light dish we need after a few hot hours in the sun. It’s just the right thing for a summer evening. These recipes come from Burma, Greece, Brazil, and the United States, and include beef, fish, or chicken stock. Broth (stock) adds nutrients and flavor to any dish, and provides a light base that’s free of milk-based ingredients.
