From clear to thick, from French onion to gumbo, when it is cold outside, there is nothing more comforting than a bowl of soup. January has been declared National Soup Month, so celebrate all month long! Make your favorite soup from scratch. Try creating your own recipe with your favorite ingredients. Soup is a great way to clean out the fridge! Or go out for a bowl of soup at a restaurant. According to the book “Food: A Culinary History from Antiquity to the Present,” the word restaurant comes from the French “to restore” and was used to describe soups and broths that were supposed to have therapeutic qualities (https://www.etymonline.com/word/restaurant).
Restore yourself at one of these eateries with some of the best soup in Bucks County.
