Fall has barely started and it is already offering perfect conditions for soup. I would not have even considered making soup even a few days ago and I also may not want to be making any this weekend - it is supposed to get to 80°F (~27°C) here in Minneapolis. Today, however, my mind has been flooded with all kinds of soups to look forward to as the weather turns and stays cold. When I lived in Finland, the soups I remember having went beyond the often sited Lohikeitto (Salmon Soup) and Hernekeitto (Pea Soup). At the University of Oulu and University of Tampere, the student cafeteria often served a wide range of soups including the aforementioned Finnish staples, as well as varieties like carrot, carrot ginger, spinach, potato, beef stew, hotdog soup, even berry and mixed fruit varieties.
