Have you heard this old joke: What's a dentist's favorite time? Tooth-hurty (as in 2:30).
No, I am not giving up my career to become a stand-up comedian. I am writing this with half of my mouth numb. I just came back from the dentist. They removed some old fillings on two neighboring teeth, drilled out another small cavity, then sealed me all back up again. I suppose I should be grateful that it wasn't worse. But I'm still kind of miserable.
Now that my mouth is regaining feeling, however, I was able to make myself some soup to make me feel better.
Soup is a big thing in my world. According to my mother, when I was little, I had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I'm not surprised. A nice hearty soup is always one of my favorite comfort foods.
It's such a big part of my world that our American Heritage Girls scout troop sells prepackaged soup mixes for our annual fundraiser. You know the kind. Add some water or broth, maybe some tomatoes or chicken or some other ingredients. They're ready in half an hour and a little package makes "eight" servings. Except, if you're anything like me, you eat it out of a cereal bowl and it ends up being closer to three servings.
So, that has me thinking.

I think my favorite soup is my homemade vegetable soup. I sautee some onions in oil, then add some frozen peas and corn, black beans, a couple cups of water, a dash of red pepper flakes, and my favorite bouillion paste. I try to throw in some spaghetti (cut into small pieces), pasta, or rice whenever I can.
