You don't possess very adventurous taste... seems you say you don't
like things you've never tasted. You definately have deep south taste
buds so why wouldn't you like Shav, it's GREENS!, aka sour grass, I
prefer it ice cold but makes an excellent hot soup too. You probably
never heard of Shav but still you snipped it.

I like asparagus a lot but still I've tried it as a hot soup but don't
like it because I don't care for cream-of soups. The only way I like
milk is chocolate milk as in a chocolate egg cream. Naturally I
wouldn't expect you to like beets, so many don't who have never tasted
beets... I haven't found a beet recipe yet that I didn't like...
Harvard beets are a favorite.

I like most soups but not any with lamb, the stench is killing.

Actually we subsist mainly on home made soups, we like Chinese soups a
lot, egg drop soups are favorites.
