Cooking Lessons

I made soup with my nifty crockpot yesterday. A traditional family recipe, ABC tong, literally translated to ABC soup. I don't know why it's named that, there aren't any alphabets floating in it. The only thing in the ingredients I can think of that associates with the name is carrot.

C for carrot. But anyhoos...

Other than that, there are potatoes, tomatoes, onions and meat in it, all boiled together into a delicious wholesome soup. I hate onions though. I wasn't in the mood for peeling and cutting onions either, so I came up with a brilliant solution of not putting onions in my ABC tong. I never eat them anyways.

Fast forward to a day later, me ladling out my soup in a bowl, I discovered to my dismay that the soup lacked a little ooomph. ONIONS.

So here folks, is a cooking lesson. There are things in life which you might not like, but they do add up to the ooomph in our life. Ain't that amazing?!?

So to all the onions in my life, thank you from the bottom of my heart. But I still hate you.
