Charlotte:Mmm, something smells good.

Mohamed:Hey, put down that lid!

Charlotte:Sorry, I just wanted to see what you're making.

Mohamed:I'm making chicken soup.

Charlotte:I'm really in the mood for a hearty stew.

There's nothing more appetizing on a cold day than a good stew.

Mohamed:Right, well, this is a simple chicken soup with a clear stock and vegetables.

Charlotte:All you would have to do is thicken the soup and let it simmer a little longer.

Then, presto! You have a stew.

Mohamed:I get it. You're partial to thick soups, but I feel like making a simple chicken soup.

I don't have time to cook a stew in a slow cooker, which is how I usually make it, not in a pot.

Charlotte:All right, all right.

Oh, a nice puree or bisque would be nice too.

Doesn't a chowder sound good right now?

I could really go for a nice bowl of chowder.

Mohamed:Fine, we'll have chowder for dinner tomorrow.

Charlotte:Really?

Mohamed:Yes, and it'll be the best chowder you've ever tasted-that comes out of a can.
