BOTTOMS UP
I prefer to drink my soup. Chowder and stew? Give me a spoon and a bowl, but soup calls for the perfect cup. The handle has to be big enough for me to slide my four fingers through, warming my palm against the cup. Should be sturdy enough to keep the soup warm while I sip, but not too heavy to hold for the duration. This next Call might give me a way to drink my soup out of a beautiful piece of art. Trip to Louisiana anyone?
