Accidental ham soup
I promised my daughter chicken soup, and then got stuck in traffic, and then realized when I got home that there was no chicken in the freezer. So instead we had bratwurst soup.
Everything was running late, so I wasn't paying that much attention to which bones I was pulling out off the freezer to throw into the pressure cooker, and when the stock was done, it tasted weird. Not bad, just not at all like chicken stock. So, I called my husband over to taste it. And then realized I'd accidentally thrown in the bone from the Christmas ham that I was saving for split pea soup.
And, of course, once I realized the unexpected flavor was from ham and not because something terrible had happened to my chicken bones, it actually tasted good.
So, my chicken soup with rice turned into ham and sausage soup with rice, and then after dinner, I added the split peas to it so everyone can have split pea soup tonight while I'm at my writing workshop.
