Soup

Soup — warm, simple, restorative — often touches good tidings and comfort, with chances to marry if you see others taking it. The dream may ask where plain nourishment and ease are gathering for you, and whether you can let the homely warmth of something sustaining signal the comfort quietly making its way toward your table.

Miller 1901
