Wellington Boot Soup

My dear man, how did you know?

We are the only people that rake leaves.

Spinach soup?  That’s not very seasonal.

It was on sale.  Besides I’ve grown so many damn onions.  I like soup.  When I was younger, my family took soup at every meal. But back then, it was more like water soup.  We’ll see what we can do with crab. Speaking of the old country, fancy a drop of the old medicinal?

See you in ten.
