Some people can't make soup no matter how hard or not they try. Her
mom's effort must have turned out like dishwater and she never tried
again. Soup can be quite filling and a hearty meal, but a person has
to put a little effort in to the pot. From her statements in the past
about mom's cooking I gather she's a plain, bare bones, get the meal
on the table and be thankful I even cooked type of person.
