Mm, Mm, Good
National Chicken Soup Day is a day to consume or to create chicken soup.
It may be rather warm where you are today, if you live in the northern hemisphere. If so, you can substitute something else like ice cream.
You can also get all philosophical about the day and find some chicken soup for the soul. I've never read the book, so I don't really know what it's about. But it sounds really heady - kind of like the way real chicken soup can smell.
Normally I don't care for soup. Chicken soup is kind of an exception. Most soups might as well be Stone Soup.
Soup seems to fill you up but only in the way that drinking a big glass of water fills you up. You feel full, but you're still hungry because you just consumed a lot of liquid and a few bits of whatever else your spoon picked up.
If you separated the broth from whatever else is in the bowl and looked at the two groups of food, would you consider that a meal? You'd have a glass (full?) of broth and a tiny pile of some other foods on your plate. That's not a meal as some would have you believe.
If the soup was only one course of a larger meal (like it sometimes is at a restaurant), that's not much better. The soup makes you feel full, even though you aren't, and then comes the main course. By that time you're too "full" to eat it all.
Maybe you can take some of it home in a box and have it for another meal, but some foods just aren't very good the second time around.
Maybe the Soup Nazi had it right.
