Soup

[huckleberryjam]

I seem to have the unasked for talent to fill any pot I am cooking in to capacity. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using the same recipe and a different pot--it still comes out full. I don't try to do this! In fact, sometimes I try very hard NOT to do this. Like tonight. I needed to fill an order of minestrone soup without making so much that it will be in the fridge come Pesach, when the fridge will fill with a bounty of leftovers. So I looked at the notes I had taken last time I made this soup, and very carefully purchased and prepared HALF the amounts of all the ingredients. And the pot is 4/5 full. What the hell?
