Jacob took a spoonful of the steaming soup and immediately his entire face lit up with delight. The warmth spread through him, rich with flavor, and he leaned back slightly as though savoring something he had long been deprived of. "Now this," he said with a satisfied nod, "this is what real soup should taste like. Not the greasy broth they have been feeding me lately." His words carried both relief and appreciation, and the sparkle in his eyes showed that he truly meant it.
