Bad news: I can't see what I'm saying. Unless I hold a magnifying glass in front of the computer screen. No drops in the soup, just in my eyes. And you'd be surprised at now much better the soup tastes after it had a chance to sit overnight. Are there such things as soup fairies?<br />Other news: Operation in my other eye could come as soon as next week. Then I'll be completely useless on the computer.

It sounded like your soup was bland because you stuck some eye drops into it. Am I right?<br />I made a bean soup in a crock pot and added some cumin and cayenne to give it more flavor. it tasted much better that way.Gutsy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226653890127738115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-20375043794711296312010-01-04T09:20:53.693-06:002010-01-04T09:20:53.693-06:00Confession time - sometimes when I am not in the m...Confession time - sometimes when I am not in the mood to peel onions I use some French onion bits that come in a jar.

The onion made it into the soup. 2. My eye hurts this morning. I could say there is no justice, but in this case, I'm afraid there is! (Are you at 16 days?)<br /><br />® Wipso: Mine was a bit like that -- it didn't call for chicken, but I threw some in. <br /><br />® Lee: Your "souper" comment was spot on. But its for lunch not supper.<br /><br />® Withy: I never thought of Worcester Sauce. I have some in the fridge. Thanks for the tip. I can add some when I re-heat the soup.<br /><br />® DJ: Pleasure to have you visit my "souper" post (to borrow a thought from Lee). Please take a look around. Yes, I did set out to make green split pea soup. Lots of "misadventures" in my life. Some days I feel like an accident looking for a place to happen.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-26955657900619012312010-01-04T04:00:30.918-06:002010-01-04T04:00:30.918-06:00Glad your eye is getting better.

It all depends on what is left over from the last meal. I blitz it all down and it's usually loads better than any bought soup....even if I cant always put a lable on it :-)<br />Really pleased your eye sounds to be going on well.
