I live in a real 4-season climate, am outside quite a bit, and try to avoid using air conditioning at home.

Today will be around 90F and humid. Im headed out soon for a few hours (without AC).

In my world there is definitely soup weather, and this is definitely not it..

I have access to some very good farmers markets and look forward to topnotch produce this time of year.

I also look forward to the cooler months when local cabbage is plentiful. I like seasonal cooking.

Cabbage soup is the only food I add gingersnaps to (I make many types, rarely sweet-n-sour).

I found a recipe that almost perfectly recreates a favorite soup from a long-gone local delicatessen.

It turns out gingersnaps are an important ingredient. Was a surprise to me.
