Sometimes I forget that most of you are in the northern hemisphere & experiencing the deepest throes of winter right now.

It's so humid & hot here that the thought of soup & bread is not in the least bit appealing. I can remember & can relate though.

FWIW I don't think carbs are bad for you. Soup & bread (along with starchy root vegetables) is probably pretty familiar to your genetic memory.

If you want to cut down on the number of bread pieces, you could try making the pieces 3 times bigger. It's a bit like the magic of feeding the whole world with a single pizza 😆
