It only LOOKS like vomit!


Mmmm....doesn't it look tasty?  Yeah, try convincing my kids to eat it.  The recipe sounded great: "Black Bean Vegetable Soup."  The black beans and canned tomatoes were blended together, thus diguising the beans, I thought.  I even added some ground beef for my meat loving children. 

Nathan, who has just been studying for oral finals in History and English, said, "Here's my thesis:  It's got beans.  It looks like beans, it tastes like beans, and it's called black bean vegetable soup.  Conclusion:  BEANS!"  He's too smart for his own good.  The taste wasn't that bad.  Ben actually said he liked it and ate several spoons-ful.  I thought it was decent.  Jillian wouldn't even let it touch her bowl, but both Nate and Kylie served up a small scoop and dabbled in it.  Brad said his stomach hurt and didn't join us for dinner.  I think his stomach hurt before he looked at the soup, but I can't be sure.

I won't be making it again.

  1. Ha! I love hearing about other people's cooking flops. It somehow helps justify my own.
    This reminds me of my Ugh Soup incident:
