So for the monthly open house known as Soup Night, I always make two soups--usually one vegetarian and one not but occasionally they are both vegetarian. Yesterday I made a turkey mushroom soup (one of my favorites) and a curried carrot with apple soup. Until I can make up my own stock, we have found an allowable chicken stock at Costco (where else?). That worked fine for the turkey mushroom soup, but I RAN OUT before the carrot soup was finished & wasn't going to have time for a Costco run before the party.
OK, for anyone who hasn't invented stupid rules for a year of their life, one would just use one of those little cubes and a hot cup of water. If one has invented stupid rules, those little cubes are off limits. Without the stupid rules, one could also use the 3 cans of fat free chicken broth in the pantry.
Then it hit me--it's only Andy and I who can't eat these things. Nothing says our guests can't. So, in went the forbidden broth and while everyone swears the carrot soup was wonderful, we don't get to try it until we have a free "cheat."
Thank heavens for a freezer and a sense of humor!
