When there is so much out of our control, I find comfort in the simple act of feeding the ones I love. I am remembering to put down my phone, turn off the news, step away from social media, and just be present with my family. Together, we are tending to the animals, watering seeds, and cooking meals.

What and how we eat is always important, but, perhaps, in moments like these it matters just a bit more. Cooking and eating delicious, nutritious, comforting meals together is part of how we strengthen our bodies and our hearts. It is good medicine.

I had planned on bringing my favorite potato chicken soup to the market on Saturday so that we could all enjoy that experience of nourishment together. That’s not happening, BUT…

Evangeline and I decided to make the soup anyway. Because it is SO GOOD. Because our bodies and our hearts need the nourishment.

And because we still wanted to share that experience with you, we decided to make a video!

This is Evangeline’s first cooking tutorial!! She’s very excited to share it with you. So please excuse my cinematography (why did I keep cutting off the top of her beautiful head?!) and join Evangeline while she makes a big batch of Potato Chicken Soup!
