Andy: Original Recipe

"This is delicious," he said. "Different."

They sat in a culvert under the 19th Street Bridge, escaping the icy air above. A pot of soup hung above a makeshift fire pit that provided warmth.

"That celery and onions I taste?" he asked, sipping from his spoon. "Where on Earth’d you find those?"

She shrugged and smiled.

"And them chunky bits," he said, swirling the soup in his bowl, "carrots?"

She nodded. Smiled again.

"But there’s something else, something new," he said. "C’mon, I have to know."

She wasn’t sure how to tell him she called it cream of pimple soup.
