Not a problem. I figured more people might come by, so I did a fairly large pot of soup just in case. Best to be ready for people.

[ She stirs it a bit, so it doesn't scorch. It's a very thick pea soup with lots of ham in it. ]

Especially if they're cold - something to warm them up. Ah, I think it's ready.

[ One of the cabinets produces two bowls and some spoons, which she fills up with soup. ] I hope it's good - I didn't have a lot of spices, but the ham was a good solid smoked one.
