To answer the question, yes, I had soup today for lunch.
Soup is the home for vegetables which are a bit past their prime but still entirely edible. There was onion, cabbage, and carrot in this one, along with a veggie stock made from bouillon powder. And very nice it was too - and Mrs H was unexpectantly out at lunch time, so I got seconds.
No soup recently, although there’s rain in the forecast, so today’s grocery shopping included enough broccoli to make cream of broccoli soup, probably either tomorrow or Thursday.
Actually I did make soup today, being a bit under the weather and mild stomach ache. Didn’t want to eat anything heavy. Nothing special, chicken soup made from homemade roto chicken stock, some Better Than Bouillon chicken concentrate, onion, celery, carrot, potato, left over rice, olive oil, ghee and finished with green onions, pepper and lemon juice. It’s probably breakfast tomorrow.
