Soup-kind-of-day

October 9, 2010
Today was a soup-kind-of-day. Fall is in the air and a delicious bowl of chicken noodle soup sounded perfect for dinner. Plus, our Bountiful Basket just happened to have all the necessary ingredients in it... well, minus the chicken.

Pearl loves to make soup. Really. The kid would choose to make a big pot of soup over a batch of cookies. I know, she's totally weird. She loves to put the vegetables in all of her toy kitchen bowls, stir them up, and then dump them into the pot. She jabbers about all kinds of "chef" nonsense and tells me EXACTLY how to make the soup. It's fun even if I get stressed letting her help me. And so far we haven't had any major incidents with lost finger tips or burned hands. It pert near killed her though to wait for the chicken to cook and then to wait again for the veggies to cook. But the wait was worth it... the soup was delicious!
