I'm making the Cream of anything Soup and am wondering what you all
typically use for seasoning. Another question I have is, how many cups
are there in a US gallon.....Hope it goes through this time...Sharon

My seasonings for cream of anything soup include salt, pepper, nutmeg
and dill. Of course, any seasonings work for cream of anything soup,
but those are my conservative stand-bys.


I'm in the U.S. For me, there are 2 cups in a pint, 2 pints in a quart,
and 4 quarts in a gallon. That is, 16 cups in a gallon, but that might
not help depending on your reason for asking.

I'm making Cauliflower soup and it calls for a gallon of chicken
stock. In Canada we used to use the imperial gallon, which was 5
quarts, but now we're on litres. Our one cup measure is still 8 ounces,
but I wasn't sure what a US gallon would come to. 16 cups is what I had
guestimated it to be. I know it's not critical, but I will make notes
on the recipe page.

Thanks a bunch......Sharon

PS I had tried three times previously to get this message posted and
it didn't show up......stupid computer..the calendar reset itself to the
year 2000....

Not only are cups different sizes in different places, but so are ounces.

For soup, it isn't going to matter. For baking, it might.

There are *four* quarts in an imperial gallon, that's why they're
"quarts". However, I'm prepared to admit there may well be five US
quarts in an imperial gallon if you must mix your units! (Actually
about 4.8 US quarts I think.)

Sheese, and here in Oz we laugh about farmers who are still using
mixed terminology like "50 kg per acre" for fertiliser applications!
But at least that's still "a bag to the acre". ;-)

[Addendum: Well, it was, but I was told last week that a bag of
fertiliser is now only 40 kg because workplace health and safety
regulations reckon 50 kg was too heavy to carry around and was a major
cause of back problems -- the joke is that Real Men in the sheds and
farms will now probably carry one under each arm to show they're not
weak kneed wimps. :-) ]

Cheers, Phred.

That's probably my faulty senior memory........Sharon
