SO—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 4,1978 Well, February is here, and with it come the new recipe themes for the month. “Cooking with Soups” is our theme for this week, and thanks to the efforts of “our readers, there were many recipes from which to choose. For this particular theme, two different types of recipes were sent in, however. One type was for the preparation of a soup, itself, and the other was for creation of a dish in which soup is an ingredient. This week, we will be publishing the second type, and on the first Saturday in March we will print the other.
