Food has always been a form of beginning again—a way to nourish the body while signaling care and intention. Preparing a simple, warming meal invites us to slow down, to be present with each step, and to honor ourselves through nourishment. May this soup be a reminder that fresh starts don’t have to be grand; sometimes they arrive quietly, one comforting bowl at a time.
