What a great recording of a beautiful song -- with the siren arriving in perfect tune.

My favorite soup is a smoky corn chowder from the Beekman Boys: https://www.pinterest.com.mx/pin/42784265186130031/

I double or triple it so I'll have leftovers -- sometimes the crowd I serve eats it all no matter how much I make.

I loved the newsletter - very personal touch for such a busy singer. I forwarded it to my girlfriends who have been to your concerts with me. I will see you at the MIM in December and have requested an interview with you and Ann through their PR person. Is it Yuletide Revelry or Holiday Revelry?

Hi Lynn. So glad you are enjoying my newsletter. Thanks for sharing it with your girlfriends. I'm sure Ann and I would be happy to interview with you- the show is called "Yuletide Revelry,"

Watching you sing in concert is always a pleasure, but I appreciate watching the rehearsal as I find it just as meaningful. Thank you for sharing. Hope you’re feeling better. My daughter, Emma, is seeing the Sondheim Peters/Solanga show in London next week. I’m quite jealous but thrilled she’ll be there.❤️

Rest and take it easy, Liz!

My go-to soup is as easy as it is delicious: leek and potato a la Julia Child. In a pot add two cups of chopped leeks and two cups of peeled, chopped potatoes. Cover with water and add salt to taste. Cover partially and simmer about 20 min. or until veggies are cooked. Remove from heat. Puree with an immersion blender. Add a half cup of heavy cream (optional). Garnish with a tiny bit of fresh dill or other herb. Incredibly simple, but also amazingly delicious.

Thanks for the latest newsletter. I also make soup on a regular basis, and I have two favorites.

https://www.savoryonline.com/recipes/easy-chicken-soup-with-bok-choy-and-rice-noodles/

I make a couple changes to this. I use a rotisserie chicken to save time, plus it's tasty (from Costco). I also double the bok choy, water chestnuts, garlic, and ginger. I never add lime, cilantro, squash noodles, or hot sauce and it's still fantastic. I really like a product called "Better than Bouillon". It comes in a glass jar and is sort of a cube/liquid hybrid.

This one I found on my mission to live to 100. I'm a fan of the "blue zone" recipes, and this soup is insanely good. It's a hearty meal too (especially with great bread). I make it exactly how it's written.

We hope to see you sing in CT again soon. We loved seeing you and Ann last February in Fairfield.

I love chicken and vegetable soup. I use the chicken stock in a carton and add cooked and shredded chicken breast and any fresh vegetables that they have in the store that look good, such as onion, squash (zucchini and yellow), green beans, peas, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, spinach. Just season with salt and pepper and some garlic.

Sometimes, simple is the best- I haven't tried summer squash in soup, but I will.

Dan and I make a delicious chicken soup. The ingredients are (of course chicken), carrots, onion, celery, mushrooms, chicken broth, garlic, seasonings to taste, and the last things to add are chopped spinach and three cheese tortellini. I'm bad at writing out exact recipes 😅

That's sounds great- I like the idea of tortellini in this soup.
