HUNGRY GERALD

Soup, soup–Glorious Soup!! Yes, that’s what HG has for lunch every day—warming, comforting, tasty. BSK makes sure there’s plenty of variety. Big winners are green tomato soup and chickpea soup topped with olive oil (Marcella Hazan’s recipe). That’s not all–BSK makes splendid squash soup (inspired  by BSK’s beloved late aunt Beulah K.–HG’s sister), broccoli soup, escarole soup, zucchini soup, cauliflower soup and more veggie based bowls of steaming goodness. HG likes a pot of hot chicken broth, garlic, parsley and tofu. Today, HG had a bowl of lovely carrot and ginger soup from a small shop BSK discovered in the PEI town, Souris. HG often has gustatory pleasure with canned soups like Amy’s (healthy)  and Rao’s bottled soups (Rao’s wedding soup is a killer). Soup for supper should be accompanied by bread and butter, cheese and hearty red wine.
