There are some dishes that are ubiquitous around the globe. Every culture taking its own spin. Portland chef and activist Jenn Louis has spent several years exploring our relationship with chicken soup. She has collected dozens of recipes from all around the globe and put them in a beautiful tome titled The Chicken Soup Manifesto. Jenn still lives in Portland but has moved slightly from running a restaurant, or restaurants in her case, to making sure that people in Portland's homeless population have food to eat. Food and politics are intertwined in Jenn's world, and that's also true of every chicken soup in her book.
