Dine | Velvet Virtues

A winter staple and necessity, the humble green soup wins hands down for dinner on a quiet night in curled up on the couch by an open fireplace. Let the blue cheese and Greek yoghurt infuse and lightly descend into the green depths below before scooping up the rich velvety textures with a crusty piece of sourdough.
