Cup a Soup

I love Lipton's Cup a Soup. I have one of those special instant boiling water faucets at my kitchen sink so it's easy to make a cup.

Curled up in front of the TV with my hands wrapped around my toasty cup a soup was calming. Or so I thought.

Several years ago I began hanging around dialysis clinics. When the patients finished their treatments many of them couldn't leave due to low blood pressure. They were either too weak or unconscious.

The unconscious ones were given intravenous saline solutions. The ones who could swallow were given Lipton's Cup a Soup.

A couple of gulps and the B/P shot right up there!

I don't drink it so much anymore.
