The Little Things

I like Souplantation a lot.  Like, a whole lot.  A ton.  Some might even say that I love Souplantation.  Who could blame me?  They offer an almost infinte amount of fresh, healthy meal possibilities, and their frequent buy one meal get one free coupons make it a great deal.  Anyway, a few months ago, my grandma and I were having dinner there, and I noticed that they were offering a cheese soup.  This excited me because it presented itself like many of the great things at Souplantation do:  as a blank canvas.  The soup tasted good, but it was clear that it'd taste better with some additions.  So I got to work.

I filled a bowl about two-thirds of the way with soup, put green onions, bacon bits, and extra shredded cheddar in, grabbed a baked potato, and went back to our table.  Then, I scraped out the baked potato a bit and put it into the soup.  The end result was a delicious loaded baked potato soup.  Sure, it took a bit of work to put together, but it was well worth it just to eat something special that no one else (except my grandma) got to have.  In any number of times I've gone since, they haven't offered the cheese soup so that I could recreate the loaded baked potato soup.  All I have are fond memories of that fateful night and bowl.
