I owe folks a report on the bland bean soup. I had time to try only two things.
garam masala: The first attempt I was already eating as I wrote the post: the bland soup plus a generous spoonful of garam masala. That was the first thing that smelled good next to the soup. The result was unusual and exotic in flavor, as might be expected, but quite tasty.
fennel and Italian: The next, inspired by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladycelia, was ground fennel seed and "Italian herb seasoning" mix. (I didn't have poultry seasoning.) That too was tasty, but it seemed to want something more. Probably I could have cranked up the amount of additives.
What I really wanted to do was brown some mild Italian sausage and stick it in there. I think that's what my mother did with the remaining servings, in fact, after I was headed back to California.
