I think we all remember Ice Ice Vichyssoise’s fall from grace back in the 90’s. He totally lied about his background – telling everyone he came from a creamy family in the soup hood. Truth is, Ice Ice Vichyssoise has no cream. Nope. No dairy. And the truth is, he’s beginning to recognize his natural talents. Why lie, Ice Ice? You are cool and refreshing. You have carrots and garlic scapes. Heck, most people don’t even know what a garlic scape is! But not you – you embrace the scape! And you are so smooth and refreshing – perfect for a hot summer day. Ice, Ice Vichyssoise, welcome back. We’ve missed you.

Since being nominated to the soup court, Judge Asparagus has stirred up quite a bit of controversy. During a speech she gave back in 2001 at the University of Soupopholis, Judge Asparagus said that she hoped her funky spices and smooth consistency would help her make a better soup than simple potatoes. Needless to say, people are definitely concerned. I don’t want to anger anyone here, but I have to admit that her curry, ginger, and coconut flavors make her a pretty darn well rounded soup. It is hard to believe she’s been able to achieve so much without the addition of cream or butter! And she can be eaten hot OR cold – that sounds pretty fair and balanced to me. Oh geez – I really hope I’m not alienating the potato community here. So here’s what I’m going to do – I’m going to add a few potatoes to the pot to thicken things up! Because let’s face it folks, there is nothing more fun than eating a dramatically controversial soup. Oh, I hope the Reliable Source in the Washington Post picks up this story!!
