Ode to Joy

Or is it an ode to Soup?

I am in love with soup. Soups of all kinds, all flavors, and all My favorite soupd ever is lobster bisque, with close runners up being cheesy chicken and broccoli (Nick's recipe) and Seafood Chowder from the place I used to work. I love creamy coups more I think, but I also like the staple chicken noodle, and vegetable beef. However I have found I really don't like campbell's I know it probably seems a little strange, but it is my preference to have something homemade over something in a can.

Yesterday I enjoyed a cup of tomato soup with some grilled cheese, and in order to dress it up a bit (it was of the canned variety) I put a little basil, chunked tomatoes, and parmesean cheese in with it as it simmered. I thought it was really good to have a change in the ordinary. I also really was ready for a grilled cheese, and the only way that was possible was to have soup with it.
But, yes, I love my soup. I could have it everyday for the rest of my life and be totally happy. I mean of course there are other ways to utilize soup, but I like the traditional method best. That is why I enjoy restaurants who give a free cup of soup to you when you order a meal.

I don't think I know many people who do not like soup, but if I did know anyone off-hand I am sure that I could change their minds if I just gave them one that they enjoyed. Like the tomato one that I made. An otherwise bland soup, tasted so much better all thanks to a little inventiveness. Now I am on to planning dinner for the rest of the week. It will be my first time ever making shish-kabobs and waldorf salad, but I am going for it. I think I will be able to find something amazing inside of me, and everyone will be proud.
