I just remembered they say "concentrated stock" and they even said "concentrated MASTERFOODS STOCK" but I just use that UHT stock, or make stock from powder (I'm never lucky enough to have real home made stock)... just thought I'd add this! I make that soup a few times in Winter (low fat)...

Do you all want to hear my recipe for love?
here's a song I wrote for Sharon:
Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come but I aint the same
Mama, Im coming home

Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, Im coming home

Took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, told me lies
But, I cant stand to say goodbye
Mama Im coming home

I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, its been so long
Mama, Im coming home

Selfish love yeah, were both alone
The ride before a fall
But Im gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

Ive seen your face a hundred times
Every day weve been apart
I dont care about the sunshine, yeah
Cause mama, mama Im coming home
