Soupernatural
Chef Lumine is on a quest to create delicious, hearty soups made from super natural ingredients. As she developed a following of soup groupies, her customers began telling stories of the nearly magical properties her soup possessed- ‘comforting’, ‘healing’, and ‘tastes like love’. Their extravagant claims inspired a whimsical, fairytale-themed collection of recipes that have become the heart of Soupernatural Food On The Fly.
