soup or broth, that is the question??. on a recent trip to a local lunch/sandwich shop in mid-town, a friend and i stopped in for some warming soup, and salad. i ordered the red bean and rice soup, and my friend ordered a tuna salad.
we were both so surprised with my light lunch, the soup being so pitifully lacking in anything that i was hoping for. thinking it would be thick and hearty, this soup was the thickness of a bowl of clear broth with a teaspoon of beans and even less rice, just liquid and not much of anything else!! sort of a mobile rendition of campbell's chicken and noodle soup, except less chicken and noodles. if i were a man, i would have starved to death! i had it ask for more rice, which they said they really didn't cook enough, but they finally found extra.
come on, if you offer a warm soup on a cold day, put something hearty in it and offer a slice of warm bread with butter on the side for good measure.
i will not be back for seconds regina! you might not have enough.
