As the temperatures drop, the need for hot dishes becomes top of mind for foodies far and wide. One of the best ways to turn up the heat is to head into the kitchen and cook up something that warms both the heart and soul. The innkeepers at Cedar Crest Lodge in Pleasanton, KS, a rustic retreat that features luxury accommodations, a full-service day spa, and 113 acres of gorgeous natural surroundings, have done just that with their enticing Italian Bean Soup. As they say…that’s amore. Mangia!
