September – delightful agony of transitions, where everything seems to be bittersweet. Slipping out of summer and those bright, zingy flavors and into fall’s roasted and simmered scents and tastes. It’s here, right in the middle of summer and fall tug-of-war that the Cilantro Lime Chicken Soup brings the yummiest compromise of seasons. This is […]
