Once a month our church staff comes together for lunch. Sometimes one of the guys makes a big pot of soup - it always smells good, but often I can only have a taste because there are ingredients that I can't handle. Once I just picked out the stuff I can't eat - corn is one of the biggest offenders for me.
Last Sunday, I was chatting with the Soup Chef, and he mentioned what he was planning to make. I looked less than enthusiastic and fessed up that I have dietary restrictions that often prevent me from eating his wonderful concoctions. He immediately offered to set aside a bowl of soup before he added in the offending ingredients so I could have some. What a kind gesture.
True to his word, he had kept a batch free of harmful ingredients, and when I arrived, he heated up my bowlful in the microwave. It was wonderful! I am sure it put me over my Weight Watcher points, but never mind. I indulged with a clear conscience. I just felt bad that our Pastor, who is usually at these events, was sick and unable to be with us. Hope she is better soon. She will be sad to miss out on such rib hearty soul warming soup.
