HUNGRY GERALD

After warm and sunny days at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home, weather took a drastic downturn—cold, rainy, and windy. Something warm and comforting was needed for chilly HG’s lunch. Hot soup was the answer. Gifted daughter Lesley R. has been on PEI helping to unpack and organize before returning to Rhody. She heated a can of healthy Amy’s Barley and Vegetable Soup and smoothed it with an immersion blender. Just what the old guy needed. Comfort!! There are other canned and jarred soups that are convenient and super tasty. Rao’s Italian Wedding Soup is the best. Very hearty. In a pinch, try Campbell’s chunky Chicken and Noodle Soup. Not bad. Whole Foods containers of fresh soups are a treat. Empress of all soups is BSK’s “Green Soup” (plus a good way to use over the hill refrigerator veggies).
