Best soup this side of Soupsville
Many know me as a soup connoisseur, and I really appreciate the title, however, I must tell you that all of my soup-making talents and skills have evolved over at least a decade or more. I am often asked; “How did you make this wonderful soup?” and they tell me; “your soups are always delicious.” Well, maybe it’s time for me to share some of my secrets with you here today, if you’ll allow me. Let’s talk.
Okay, so how did I turn into soup? After all, I am a high power eater and I was born hungry according to my mother. Well, it just so happens that years ago, I had a toothache and it hurt to eat anything too solid. I was away and my dentist was back in California. If I didn’t chew my food enough, it would get stuck in my throat, so I started making soup. I was traveling in an RV, running my business, so it didn’t have all the conveniences of a real kitchen, more like a small apartment mini kitchen. However, I was forced to conform.
So, I took Top Ramen as my base, cheap, effortless, and started cutting things up to put inside. I would buy pre-made chickens at the grocery store and cut the meat into small squares, or take a can of salmon and flake it with a fork and toss it into the soup. I cut onions, potatoes and assorted vegetables. Eventually, I became fearless, throwing almost anything in there, remembering “I was born hungry” and guess what happened? I started to figure out what works well and what flavors go together best, and today: viola, the best soup in town.
No, I don’t have toothaches or anything like that anymore, but I still make soup every day, and I probably eat healthier than the worst politically correct vegetarians on said planet. It turns out that our ancestors were right to eat soup, it has many other benefits. It’s easy on your digestive system, leaving more power for your brain. It delivers the nutrients to your body, muscles, and mind faster this way, and it’s less expensive I guess, depending on the ingredients. If you’re not already a soup eater, or sip drinker, surely you should be, I can safely recommend this to you for a reason; experience. In fact, I hope you will please consider all this and think about it.
