Soup Recipe
I’ve been getting messages sent to the entire library by one of the staff members who is compiling a recipe book. They intend to make the book out of recipes from library members, then sell the book and donate the money to charity. I probably get an email every day requesting more and more recipes. So today I finally broke down an gave up my secret family recipe. Now that it is out in the open, I might as well let you folks see it as well:
I’m not much of a cook, but here is my one soup recipe.
Ingredients:
One can condensed soup (any variety).
One glass or bottle of cold water.
Remove the label from the soup can. This will prevent it from catching on fire, which may taint the flavor of the soup.
Open the can of soup. If you do not have a can opener, a screwdriver or large knife can often be of aid.
Turn a stovetop burner to medium, and place the can directly on the heated surface.
Use a spoon to stir the soup frequently, to prevent burning the soup.
When the soup is warm, remove the can from heat. You may need to use a hot pad, or a pair of pliers, because the surface of the can will be very hot.
Alternatively, you can simply turn off the stove. The burner will continue to put out heat for a few minutes, but you won’t have to touch the hot can. This is especially useful if you do not own a hot pad, and can’t find your pliers.
Enjoy your soup by standing over the stove, putting a large spoonful into your mouth, and then washing it down with a swig of water from your glass. The hot condensed soup will mix with the cool water in your mouth, forming a warm, delicious and convienent mixture, ready for immediate swallowing.
Enjoy!

Just don’t burn the tomstone while your soup can is heating! Didn’t I teach you anything? I hope you have fresh batteries in the smoke detector.
