Soups and such

Life gets from bad to worse. Bovril's really given up on the beefy stock in those adorable little pots. The new stuff is...vegetarian-friendly. Yeast. Yetch. to give it some credit, it really does taste a little like the old stuff, though I would not mistake it for the original on any day of the week. No, not even with my nose stuffed and my eyes closed. The chicken stock paste is marginally better, mainly because it actually tastes like something familiar. The saddest part is that I'm resorting to soup stocks because I'm lazy to make soup(which cannot be made to any decent standard within 2 minutes) and because I really cannot stand the Campbell instant or canned soups. Well, they have sippable New England Clam Chowder(sippable for me) though quite a few may beg to differ. I guess I'm stuck with...fake beef stock until I can actually slap some Oxo together. Speaking of which, where the hell did Oxo beef stock cubes go? Ugh.
