Soupy Soup

My sister requested that I post the Winter Spring April Soup. This soup was created on my son's birthday. His birthday party was at a playground. The day was rainy and cold, but fun was had by all. After the party, we went home and had a warm bowl of this soup.

I've been experimenting with this soup. I've eaten the soup hot, warm, and cold. I've counterbalanced the consistency and temperature of the soup with the climate outside. I've also played with the vegetables: pureed or in fork-sized pieces.

I was concerned that the papaya would not be an available ingredient--so, I did not want to post the recipe, but in Philadelphia, I can't stop running into the fruit as I peruse the various produce markets. I asked one vendor, what is the natural season for papaya. He told me July through September.

So there is no excuse for me not to post the recipe.

Enjoy.
