This delicious soup recipe was born from my attempt to replicate an amazing soup I had the pleasure to taste at The Unicorn, a unique pub in the town of Ludlow – capital of the Slow Food Movement in England. I am hoping that Sammuel, the sous-chef, will soon send me the real recipe. In the meantime, please enjoy my own version of this warm winter soup…
