Finally finished the leftover pea soup. Whew!
(And it wasn’t split pea soup–it was made the proper Scandinavian whole yellow peas, thankyouverymuch.)
Not entirely sure whether I should be glad or horrified that it tasted exactly the same at one day old and five days old. (Of course, it tasted better at one day old than on the day it was made. That’s just one of the laws of the universe.)
Semi-related, last week I pulled some chicken legs out of the deep-freeze and to get them to thaw sufficiently so I could separate the stuck-together parts without an icepick, my girlfriend suggested I boil the entire mass. This left me with a pot of thin chicken broth, to which I added a package of instant rice, a can of mushrooms, and a package of Lipton soup-in-a-cup (which had its own dehydrated chicken broth) and made a huge mess of chicken soup I ate over the following week. It’s quite cold in my kitchen (heater’s broken, haven’t gotten around to fixing it) and the soup tasted fine even after several days, albeit the ingredients (especially the Lipton) had made it pretty salty, requiring I add more water to dilute it.
Francois: Tell me Jacques… do you think that this soup can really bring about world peace?
Jacques: No, Francois. It is pea soup. Not peace soup.
Francois: Jacques, you won’t tell anyone what I thought about the soup, would you?
Jacques: Of course not, Francois. [shakes his head] Peace soup.
Slight nitpick – one I decided to get some backup for – it’s nine days instead of five days.
Hunter Hawk’s was apparently only five days old:
No doubt. It’s the thread title that caused my quibble. As I said, slight nitpick.
You want I should come back in a few days and start another thread titled “Pease porridge in the Tupperware in the freezer nine days old”?
Not a problem.
Q. What’s the difference between the Hokey Pokey and pea green soup?
Anyone can learn to hokey pokey.
