Soup, soup, and more soup.

As you may have noticed, I love soup. And of course, I have a lot of favorites, too. The first cold day and night hit us Thursday, so of course I thought I had to make soup. I made a huge, huge pot of vegetable beef soup (3 gallons!) in my gigantic stockpot I've had for years. It's saved the day many times. My neighbor Dale loves vegetable soup. He lost his wife a few months ago and isn't doing well without her with him. He has lost heart...goes to the cemetery every single day still. So, he got a large container of soup. He eats on it for a couple of days and freezes some for another day or two. I took some to another neighbor down the block who recently had knee surgery. Also took some to my neighbor Donna, who is fighting depression over the loss of her sister. I like to cook, and I like to share, I would share more often but just don't really have extra money. But it's easy to share soup. And it makes a person feel good to know that someone else really enjoyed it and maybe it cheered them a bit. Cooking is good therapy for me when I need to concentrate on something so as not to worry about other things. None of us ever know what the future holds for us. I think it's good to spread a bit of kindness now and then. Not bragging, just saying if you can share something in these tough times, go ahead. You may be surprised.
