Made With Love And kindness


It's a soup that's made to order never from a store   
A little bouillon treat that's filled with herbs galore 
Not the kind you get from packets, no not that kind ! 
with itty bitty chicken bits it has onions you can find. 
I start with chicken base then add a clove of garlic,   
turmeric and salt with a dash of home made magic. 
I simmer for an hour while the veggies steam & swim,  
singing in a playful voice,   "a little blessed hymn".     

I start with a clean counter then tuck my hair right in  
wearing pinafore of white, with little ducks that swim    
I stew it then I stir it, with a large wooden spoon 
telling funny stories to a soup that cooks til' noon 
Made with love and kindness, it really hits the spot,    
I cook it just like mama did, when I was just a tot.
It's a soup that's made to order, never from a store,    
this little bouillon treat is filled with herbs galore.
 
Enjoy !

Homemade from scratch is the best. I could hear my mother's voice: 'Never stir with a metal spoon, else you ruin the broth.' Thanks for the flashback your poem brought, Rose :)

A good soup does not use tinned food. Many recipes can be cooked properly. Hugs.
