Beautiful soup

BEAUTIFUL Soup, so rich and green yellow,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Simmered 'til it's tastily mellow!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!

Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!

Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth only of Beautiful Soup?
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?

Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-evening,
Beautiful, beauti-FUL SOUP!

With apologies to Lewis Caroll

Made from carrots, butternut squash, onion, stock, cumin, cream and parsley. Eaten with a sausage sandwich with onion marmalade. It was worth the effort.
