I was just reading through last year's post about Klondike and was reminded that JD's favorite part was the soup. I never did revisit this and may have left my readers wondering what kind of soup it was.
At Klondike, there is an entrance fee along with a can of soup that shouldn't be cream based. Here I thought that it was part of a collection to give to a homeless shelter or some other facility.
At the meeting after Klondike, I told one of the adult men that went on the trip about JD's great affinity for the soup and asked him what kind it was.
He laughed and told me that I could never recreate it and that it might not even be as good next year!
I was puzzled until he explained that all the cans of soup that the boys bring with them are dumped into a huge pot and stirred up and heated. Each boy is given his empty can back and throughout the weekend, as they travel from activity to activity, they can have some soup ladled into their can to keep warm and happy!
Boys and their simplicity make me happy!
