When Ekitzel Wood was in high school, her mom went back to work full-time, which meant Ekitzel needed to start making dinners. She browsed the web for recipes and experimented a lot—soon becoming good enough that her cooking was a treat.

“When I was in college I would come home for the holidays, and my gift to the family would be a nice meal,” she said. She saved money to be able to buy ingredients for one particular meal on Christmas Eve: French onion soup.

“Traditions always start somewhere,” Ekitzel said, adding that her family didn’t have many consistent traditions—until her soup came along. “I never would have guessed, as a teenage college student, that a simple soup that the French traditionally have at weddings would become an expectation and food tradition.”
