Wondering who is Sigmund Romberg? My high school prom date? Nope! The first man to walk on the moon? Wrong again! Sigmund Romberg wrote the music for the Broadway show, Desert Song! Which, according to Soupermom (and Souperdad) is simply fabulous, and the inspiration for this soup. The chickpeas, exotic spices, and rice warm your belly and spirits as the rain, sleet, and freezing rain (ahhh DC winters) fall outside your window. Cuddle up with Sigmund Romberg and… I mean, Sigmumd Romberg’s soup and pop Desert Song into your DVD player. Oh what a perfect evening! If you do find yourself cuddling up with Sigmund himself, call me. He died in 1953, so that would be kind of weird. But don’t panic! He probably just wants some soup!
