Background
This is a wonderful soup to warm you up and/or strengthen your immune system. It's very simple to make and can be served with blue cheese (such as Stilton or Roquefort) or without. It's so delicious that you could even serve it as a starter at dinner parties or as a warming-up soup at outdoor events and activities.
