Soups can be as complex or as simple as you want, but few other foods convey comfort as willingly. It’s always soup season, but the rainy chill of fall is peak time for soups. Earlier this year, Minerva Jayne came on the City Cast Boise podcast to break down some local favorites with executive producer Frankie Barnhill.
They had a lot to say about their own soup practices, so check out the episode for some home inspiration, but they ladled out plenty of recommendations for those who want to pay a professional.
