Snow City Cafe: Scientists Say...

This photo of a half-eaten bowl of Snow City Cafe's soup doesn't do justice to its tastiness. It's called Cream of Tomato with Swirl of Pesto Cream, and we're posting a picture here so Sarah's ingeniously creative, gourmet-cooking, kid-raising, cubby-teaching frontierswoman of a sister, Laura, can use her superwoman eyes to find out what it's made of. We're betting she'll call us within a few minutes with a detailed description of all the possibilities (just when telling her on the phone that there were chunks of something almost meaty in it, she suggested the "texture of a good stewed tomato or maybe ground portabello mushroom"), then concoct her own version and overnight it to Alaska in a thermos. As Sarah Mia would say, "Glo-ry, hallelujah."
