Every Tuesday there's a farmer's market in the park almost across the street from us. Today I was feeling well enough to go soup-hunting, but not till after 2, and I didn't know how late the market went. But I knew it was my best chance for a healing-a-lactose-riven-belly soup.
Belly Soup! My favorite French children's cartoon character. "Oui oui, ma'am'selle, je voudrais du chocolat!"
As I headed across the wet, chilly park, I noticed that the soup people seemed to be breaking down souptown. I hurried. "Am I too late for soup?" I asked as I arrived at their souptable. A man dressed as a chef started telling me what they had left. I asked questions, having lactose belly and all. I didn't want a soup full of hurty things.
He described the zucchini and the tomato soup. I pondered. He suggested I take both.
But he meant TAKE both! He gave me soups for free! TWO SOUPS! FOR FREE!
(That just reminded me of two scoops of raisins in each box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran. "TWO SCOOPS!" And from there my '70s-commercial-addled brain moves to "Two great tastes in one candy bar -- Reese's -- Peanut Butter Cups! TWO SCOOPS!")
So a man dressed as a chef gave me two free soups today. I suspect they really wanted to get going and I was holding them up, but next week, I will buy many things from them, for they gave me soup-succor when I was in hurty town.
Thank you, nice soupman!
Love,
Cree

soup-succor: clearly the origin of the word "soupcon."
