TOP 10 REASONS TO MAKE SOUP

Here are the top 10 reasons guys should master the art of making soup.

Pans: How many do you need? One. It's the ultimate one-pot meal. Less to locate, less to clean. Everybody's happy.

Warmth: On a cold day, a pot of soup helps to heat the kitchen. Hey, it's economical.

Timing: Is it soup yet? No, but it will be in 12 to 240 minutes. It's entirely up to you! And don't worry, it'll keep.

Nutrition: Soup's liquid base makes it a plausible vehicle for just about anything as long as it's chopped fine. Add a head of kale, and your kids won't even know they're getting tons of essential vitamins and minerals.

Food processor: Go ahead and use it to chop everything, because what's the worst case? Stuff gets processed to mush? It's for SOUP, for cryin' out loud!

Scheduling: Since cooking soup can take all afternoon and involves a lot of simmering, you can do something else concurrently, like watch the Eagles, or rake leaves.

Drinking: Having a glass in hand while cooking soup gives you the opportunity to test different additives. "The alcohol cooks out," you can tell yourself, delusionally.

Sex: For married men, cooking soup will enhance your marital relationship. For single men, it will make you more attractive to the opposite sex - or the same sex! I mean, who doesn't want a partner who can cook?

Naming: Who's to say whether you made it right or wrong? Potato soup might have leeks or it may feature carrots - it's still potato soup. Experiment with these fringe areas and soon you've invented a whole new kind of soup. Name it; it's your "specialty. "

Crackers: Come on, everybody likes crackers.
