“You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there.” – Maya Angelou
When I was in elementary school, I lived one block from school. One of the best things about the proximity was that I could walk home for lunch. What I remember most about those lunches is that my mom often fed me soup: split pea, tomato, potato, and chicken noodle.
Fair to say, I have a lot of fond memories about soup. So I really enjoyed the Episode 98: Soup’s On podcast conversation I had with Vicki Atkinson and blogger and teacher, Beth Kennedy, over a big pot of soup.
Metaphorically speaking of course because we’re separated by three different time zones. But otherwise, we can really stretch the goodness of soup.
Beth tells us why she likes soup so much to inspire more than 20 posts over the years. We discuss the multicultural as well as the community aspect of it.
Vicki and I ask about how she finds the terrific quotes to go with the hearty content. Beth shares some of the unusual sources that you wouldn’t expect in a quote about soup.
We laugh about the different concoctions we’ve made and share the recipes – not only for a wonderful meal but also for community and connection.
We also talk about the Himalayan stew that inspired Beth’s post and how it’s like the melting pot of Everest Base Camp.
This is a great episode that will feed you on many levels. With an accompanying recipe, it’s great inspiration on the literal level. But also on the story-telling, creativity, and collaboration levels as well.
I’m confident you’ll love the scenic and beautiful places we explore as we share the power of storytelling over a cup of good soup.
We know you’ll love it!
