” Cream  of  broccoli  and potato, with parmesan and fontina ”

Soup can be so many things.
– Boring. Unimportant. Uninspired   😦
– Good. Great. Warming. Satisfying. Amazing. Unforgettable. Pretty. Flavorful. Addictive. A Treat. Not to be missed   🙂
 “Bella”  means beautiful in Italian, therefore: Bella the soup. Bella the dog  🙂
