Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price… but I see the word ‘coconut’ and I can’t resist.

    I’m allergic to poultry. Do you know how many places consider chicken broth vegetarian? (yeah I know about the better than bouillon faux chicken broth. I can eat that I just think their veggie broth tastes better) I can’t/won’t eat soup I don’t make myself anymore just out of self-preservation. I’ll go to a vegan-friendly place though. Thank gods for them. They actually take it seriously (sometimes), and will at least tell you.

    But yeah, my point is folk can have the most bizarre allergies. It’s nice to have everything labeled. Fuck cans that say “spices” or “natural flavors” on them. People need to know.

      I agree that people need to know, but you can be allergic to so many foods. I’m allergic to pomegranate, but I would rarely expect to encounter pomegranate where it wouldn’t normally be.

      I guess the ‘no celery’ thing makes sense, but why would you put mustard in coconut carrot soup in the first place? I kind of feel like they might as well have put ‘no peanuts’ on there too. I’m betting a peanut allergy is far, far, far more common than a mustard allergy.

        So I don’t know coconut carrot soup, but I put mustard seed in my tomato soup (I know it sounds weird, but I have a recipe I’ve been developing for years)

          I would give that a try, but I just could not imagine coconut and mustard being a good flavor combo.

          I’ve heard weirder though. A friend of mine announced on social media that he decided to put chicken stock in his coffee and said he really liked it. I have odd friends.

            If I remember, i’ll try to take pictures because it is one of those recipes I invented myself without measuring spoons. One step is: pour out a 3cm diameter circle of mustard seed into your mortar, then half-heartedly pestle the shit out of it because it’s delightful to get a mustard pop in the middle of your soup. The rest is just “add spices and wait for the damn can to heat up” because it’s a lazy recipe.

        Mustard belongs nowhere. It should not exist. It is an affront to God. I want this label placed on all food.

      Yeah! There’s lots of spices! There’s ginger, baby, sporty, posh, and scary spice! Five different spices!
