[Storyteller.]

I've been in the mood for some soup lately, so I was thinking about making a batch to see how it goes. Since I haven't made soup from scratch before I thought I'd see if any of you had, and if so whether you had any tips, tricks, techniques, or ingredients you'd recommend. I don't eat meat so it will be a vegetable soup, probably with pumpkin or potato as a staple, but I'm open to any suggestions for anything you think might work. Even if you haven't made soup do you have any favourite soups you've tried? I'm looking for all kinds of inspiration so feel free to share any soup-related thoughts you may have!
