Evie’s Soup

I am incredibly lucky to have the very best mom. She’s always been super supportive and involved in my life every step of the way. I consider myself even luckier though to have best friends whose moms helped raise me too.

When my father was diagnosed with colon cancer, Evelyn who is my best friend Erica's mom made him some homemade antioxidant-rich, soup. Growing up we always tried to eat dinner at Erica's because Evelyn is an incredible cook. This flavorful, abundantly nutritious soup which my mom affectionately named “Evie's Soup,” is still made regularly by my family. It reminds us of Evelyn’s amazing cooking and brings up memories of my Dad. Evie's Soup gives us the nutrients we need mind, body, and soul.
