I made some real nice soup last night:
Wild rice soup always delights me: not only is it delicious, but the recipe I (mostly) use is from my mom, who, iirc, got it from our neighbor in Minneapolis. My parents are from Ohio. I am far more "from Iowa" or maybe "from Illinois" than Minnesota, but I was born there and lived my first four years there and it left such an indelible impression on me I always feel close to Minnesota. This soup is a lil connection to that.
