GP My mother in law's post-Thanksgiving turkey soup (made from the turkey bones) tastes like sadness liquified in a solvent of failure.
It's so danged bland.

GP My SIL and Mrs. P *finally* told my MIL her soup sucked ass this Thanksgiving. Admittedly, they said it more politely than I just did.
So that left making the soup to me because MIL was not amused by the stunning rebuke.

GP I dutifully made the broth Sunday and the soup yesterday. Added tons of carrots, celery, onions, garlic, a few cardamom pods for that floral flavor, loads of turkey, tons of thin egg noodles.
And then I delivered some to MIL and SIL.

GP I forgot to mention I added a gurgle or two of fish sauce for that unidentifiable umami flavor.
SIL *immediately* texted that the soup was awesome despite the fact I completely made up my own soup recipe.

GP I still have not heard from MIL. I guess I'm on her shit list again. Not that I was ever off it in the first place.
And as an added bonus now I get to both make the turkey(s) for Thanksgiving and the soup afterwards.
Yay.
