Nun Soup!
I got on the subway on the way home from work and I smelled something oddly familiar. It took me a few minutes and then I realized what it was.
NUN SOUP!
I went to a small catholic school from k - 8 and at lunch time our only hot lunch if you didn’t bring your own was soup. You could get this soup from a very small elderly nun that stood in the corner of the cafeteria with her soup cart on wheels. She would ladle your soup into a pink-ish flesh color plastic bowl and get this! It only cost 25 cents! A QUARTER for a whole bowl of soup! Unfortunately the soup wasn’t very good and I had a theory that the nuns just put in whatever they had leftover from the night before. Thankfully I brought lunch everyday because frankly those fleshy colored plastic bowls kind of freaked me out a bit. I hadn’t smelled that smell in a while but I can only assume that perhaps there was a nun undercover on that train hiding a big pot of that soup.
