Climate Week En Review: Soup Season
Welcome, October, aka SOUP SEASON. I love soup. I make at least one batch a week, if not two. Chicken and rice with curry and coconut milk. Black bean and pumpkin. Corn chowder. I like soup for any meal of the day (hey, don’t knock it for breakfast). Have a favorite recipe? I’ll take it!

EcoRight Speaks, Season 11, Episode 5, featuring sci-fi author and retired engineer, Raj Agrawal
