In this episode of Edible Valley, we dive into one of the most comforting, universal, and endlessly creative dishes in the culinary world: soup. From rustic broths to silky purées, hearty stews to bright, modern bowls, soup is a vessel for culture, technique, and the stories behind the ingredients we choose.

Jonathan and William explore why soup holds such a special place in kitchens across Vancouver Island and beyond. We talk about how the seasons shape the bowls we crave, the ingredients that thrive on our local farms and in our coastal waters, and the professional techniques that make even the simplest broth shine.

We recorded this a little while ago, but we’re finally getting it up — and it’s worth the wait.

Whether you’re a home cook stirring your first stock pot or a seasoned chef looking for fresh ideas, this episode celebrates the art, science, and soul of soup.

Warm up, grab a spoon, and join us in the Edible Valley kitchen.
