Well, I managed to avoid my son’s onion/garlic/Tabasco soup last night, mostly because I convinced him that we didn’t have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Incidentally, I discovered that chocolate pudding has amazing restorative powers. I have to admit that just the thought of all those onions in one bowl did amazing things to my constitution, and I assured him that I was in no need of any rehabilitative foods.

I just now hopped online to look something up, next thing I know I’m looking at a few favorite blogs, and I found this great recipe for Quick and Easy Chunky Tomato Soup. It sounds terrific and its probably a lot better than anything I could buy in a can. I think it would be a great meal for me and my family, we could all customize it to suit our tastes. I’d like it just the way it’s described in the recipe, but my daughter would probably love it with some bacon bits. My son would definitely spice it up, that is, he would if he could ever figure out where I hid the Tabasco sauce.
