What's Your Favorite Soup?
What's Your Favorite Soup?
Runnnnnn Get the Ladle, My Loves!
It warms you when you’re cold…cools you when you’re hot…fills you when you’re famished, calms you when you’re cranky…soothes you when you’re sick . . . . .
But First, Let’s Get the Big Question Out of the Way:
Are you a crackers or croutons person?
And . . . do you drop the crackers/croutons into your soup one at a time so they don’t get soggy? Or are you the impetuous type who throws the whole lot into the bowl and digs in?
Now Tuck Your Napkins Under Chins and Let’s Slurp!!
Rank your top three favorite soups:
What was your favorite soup growing up?
Have you ever created a fabulously brilliant soup? What are the ingredients?
Is there any soup you don’t like?
Is your current sex life brothy? Chunky? or Pureed?
And meanwhile, Attentive Readers, the surgery went excellently!
Thank you for your love and support! You keep a girl’s razed eyebrow UP!!
P.S.
We received a wonderful note from Sara, the young woman who’s chap STUNNED her (but who’s assholary did not shock the Conflab) by suddenly ending their five-year relationship in a ten-minute FaceTime. Here’s what she writes:
Dear E. Jean:
I wish I could send each of your writers a “thank you note.” Reading their comments has been a healing balm for my heart. Hearing similar stories and how people have thrived after something similar is so reassuring. Their advice, and yours, is so helpful. The love leaps off the page. Of course my friends and family have all been supportive, but they have to love me at a time like this, and the validation of extremely wise women with excellent taste (I know this because we all subscribe to your writing!) that don’t know me at all has really made me feel better, like I’m not crazy for being so shocked and sad. As I’ve leaned into my sadness watching breakup movies, the common theme is always being with your friends and finding community. You’ve built a really beautiful one. Thank you.
I’m off to get sage, new sheets, dancing shoes, hot yoga lessons, and start researching covert narcissism!
With deepest gratitude,
Sara

Tomato soup and neither crackers with croutons. HOMEMADE. Three ingredients: one onion, tomatos, and butter. Fry it up and put it in the vitamix. Good crusty bread with salted butter to dunk. Ahhh feelin hungry. Can you tell I am a fan of butter?
Three top soups?
Lentil, New England Clam Chowder & Corn Chowder. No crackers in my soup.
Favorite growing up?
Chicken Noodle
Created?
My Chicken Stoup, to thick to be a soup, too thin to be a stew.
Stew an entire Chicken in cheese cloth (easier to catch all the bones & skin), add chicken broth to the existing water, after chicken is cooled & separated, add. Simmer longer, add celery, carrots & onions, spices, when almost done pour in Acini Di Pepe, right before serving still in fresh baby spinach.
Don't like?
Tomato, never have.
Sex Life?
Hahahahahaa! After my husband passed, covid hit & I live in Redville, I'm too liberal or so I've been told. Problem's not with me 😉
