Soup Season Hats

Soup season is not a recipe category, it is a period of the year with rules. Somewhere around the second week of September the big pot comes down off the shelf and everything else in the kitchen becomes a side dish until roughly March. #SoupTok runs into the billions of views, the soup girl is a recognised internet archetype, and the seasonal spike arrives right on schedule every autumn. These are hats for the person running that season. The one who made a soup and will mention it. The one who will put anything in a broth and has stopped taking requests. The one who believes, correctly and without evidence, that nobody likes soup more than they do. And yes, one of them settles the chili question in the loudest typeface available. Twelve designs across ten crown colours that suit a cold kitchen — cranberry, evergreen, stone, khaki. Alfa Slab One carries the diner-menu weight of the head term; PT Serif handles the deadpan lines, because the funniest way to announce that you made a soup is flatly.
