Fall is here! Finally we can toss out our tanks and cut-offs, and cuddle up with a bowl of soup, a sweater, and our sweetie (and by that we mean our dog named, Sweetie). Even if you don’t have a boyfriend to keep warm with, we’ve got the next best thing to heat things up: soup! Chef Marcella Dirks of The Sanctuary at Two Rivers – an Eco-Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica hooked us up with the recipe for this delicious vegetarian soup that will nourish your bod and satisfy your palate. With hints of all 6 tastes, the soup includes celery, carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, white beans, chard, and a fried egg with lemon to excite those taste buds! So try a cup and cuddle up (and it’s OK if its with your pup!)...
