Qui a mangé ma soupe?

Just a quick soup recipe.

Gazpacho Soup

 1 lbs can of stewed tomatoes
 10 1/2 oz can of beef broth
 1 cup peeled, chopped cucumber
 1 cup chopped celery
 1 cup sliced onions
 1 clove of garlic
 2 tbsp of lemon juice
 dash of pepper

Now, as this is technically a gazpacho, all the ingredients should be blended together and served cold. I much prefer it hot though, so bring it all to a boil and then simmer until the onions are tender - about 6 to 8 minutes.

This is the original recipe my Mom's been eating since the 80's, so I update it with sodium-reduced and organic products and it tastes just as good. She usually serves with cornbread, but in the interest of my waist-line I'll refrain.

In Grade 7 French we "studied" plays. Basically we translated fairy tales and read them out-loud. The only one I remember is "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" or "Boucle d'Or et les Trois Ours" because I got into a fight with my teacher about how it should 
still say "Goldilocks" because "that's her freakin' name and shouldn't be translated!" and I spent 
the next 2 weeks running around saying in my Papa Bear voice "Qui a mangé ma soupe?"




I feel a bit silly today. Possibly because I started doing ballet this morning and ended up totally working out.
It's all those good endorphins.
