My mother was a pretty good cook, but not with soups. We grew up with a
lot of canned soups, which probably explains why I seldom bother with
soup. I make butternut squash soup in the fall when they become
available, and I make split pea soup in the winter when I come across
smoked ham hocks. I just don't bother with soup in warm weather.

I am not big on cold or creamy soups either. Curiously, I like
Vichysoisse, which is cold and creamy. Go figger.
