When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.

You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.

Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.

I love soup 'cause I don't like to cook. It's so easy to prepare, and it fills you up and gives you all the nutrients you need. It's a well-balanced meal, but you don't have to do a lot of preparation.

My heart is as pure as the driven slush.

That's one thing I get neurotic about: I need my soup to be crazy hot.

Almost every culture has its own variation on chicken soup, and rightly so - it's one of the most gratifying dishes on the face of the Earth.

I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.

I live on good soup, not on fine words.

I love to make soups. My father used to say, 'There's nothing like a nice bowl of soup.' One of my favorites is... ready? Broccolini, white bean and hot Italian sausage soup. I've used escarole. Escarole in beans is unbelievable, or you can use bok choy, any kind. You can really fool around. That's one of my good ones.
