It’s soup season and I’m always interested in trying out different types of soups. These year I was on an African Peanut Soup kick for a while. I wanted to venture out again and find a warm satisfying soup that mixes things up a bit and that’s when I discovered the wonderful Dill Pickle Soup. Check out the video below:
