"David - I would seriously check the contents of cup-a-soup before imbibing. Lord knows what chemicals this stuff is shot through with. I haven't checked it myself for years, but my memory of it was not pleasant." (Will)...vegetable cup-a-soup, i.e. - I being mostly vegan, although I will have whatever is going if invited, folks! ;-)>
P.S: I find lettuce much more tasty when in such soups cum pottages; and both the above, slightly more sophisticated, recipes do sound good; and I've also heard that, for different minerals, we should eat vegetables of different coulour.

Something in common, Don - mornings, while awaiting my porridge, I often have toast with raspberry jam and smooth peanut butter; also, for a treat, I'll spread avocado/gaucamole on toast.
