Well, THIS is something I've never heard of before! Using tea (and hot water, of course!) as a soup base. These look good!

When the chill of fall and winter starts to set in, there’s nothing like a cup of soup. Soup is warming, grounding and as an ancient healing tradition, it is easy on digestion, soothing to the nervous system, and the perfect vehicle to get more herbs into you.

Adding herbs into soups has been part of herbalism for thousands of years. As any herbalist or nutritionist will tell you, the broth base makes the soup, and is where many of the healing qualities are found. When time allows, we like to simmer our broths for a few hours on the stovetop. But with the busy schedules of life, school, and work, sometimes we just want something that’s simple and fast. This is where our teas come in. By using our herbal teas as the base of your broth, you can create delicious, nourishing broths in just minutes! For your herbal cup of soup, you can get as creative as you’d like by adding simple seasonings, bite-sized vegetables, and fast cooking starches or grains. Below is our herbalist’s take on three familiar favorites that you might recognize.

FYI-—Frederic Tudor was known as the Ice King——made his fortune selling wintertime ice from the US in tropical climes and as far away as India.

His oldest son, Frederic Tudor was the grandfather of the 20th-century author, water-colorist and book illustrator...... Tasha Tudor.

Over the years, a number of people have mentioned this book:

I’ve decided to buy a copy. For some reason, even though I’ve always enjoyed making soup, I’m especially interested in it these days.

(The author has apparently written quite a few other cookbooks that look interesting, including one on salads.)
