So, my husband was left to tend the soup. I suggested he buy some sort of canned white beans (since I thought of this to make dried beans) and a can of creamed corn. I also suggested he get some heavy cream and some vegetable broth in case I decided to go "cream of" or if the soup went dry.
I went to work and instructed hubby to drain the beans, rinse them and add them to the pot. I told him to add the creamed corn as is, and if the soup got dry to add some water. And not to add anything else until I got home.
He listened well.
The soup tastes fabulous and needed no water, nor did I have to add anything else-- no more vegetable stock, no cream.
