Does the blog post title take you back a few years? I haven't thought about my favorite childhood game since heck was a pup! But tonight, the phrase just crept forward from the ancient archives of my memory.
My sister and I, cousins, and neighborhood kids used to stay outside til after dark playing this "interactive" game (to use 21st century verbiage). The children formed a circle around one blindfolded person who stood with outstretched pointing finger while slowly twirling and reciting the game's mantra in monotone (spooky-ish) tone:
"Soup, soup, who's in the soup?"
Whomever the pointed finger landed on when the question ended, had to reply what kind of soup they were, but with a disguised voice: "TOMATO SOUP!" (deep, husky voice). If the blindfolded guessed who spoke, they gave chase and if "tomato soup" was caught, they had to return to the middle of the circle and be "it". Such were the days of my youth, ah......
In my last post, I sorta blindfolded YOU and asked:
Soup, soup, who's in the soup?
Can you guess?
Ok, let's take off the steamy lid, so we're able to get a peek...

I think we could call it "Seashell Macaroni"! LOL.This is the bead soup I sent to my partner, Kitty at Perles and Life; I do hope she likes the ingredients I sent.
And tomorrow, we shall find out "Who's in the Soup" that Kitty sent to me! I can't wait to show you! Off to shoot photos...
I had totally forgotten about that game- and it was usually played in our front yard with all the neighborhood kids - it was fun- and after that we would catch lighting bugs!!!
