I like both. When I cook a burger the only thing I oook is meat. If I grill some onions to eat with it that's not meatloaf. When I make meatloaf I put lots of stuff in it. I eat a lot more burgers than meat loaf. Much quicker to make and I only have to cook one or two patties at a time with no leftovers
@TigersTailgating You should add scotch eggs to your list. Boiled, wrapped in sausage, battered, and fried.
Hurricanes are different. That's emergency stuff. As to making soup, I cook a whole chicken at least once per week. If I bake the chicken, I then make a stock from the bones. If I am making chicken and dumplings, then I boil the chicken and that makes the stock for the chicken and dumplings. If I buy a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store, I make a stock from the bones/carcass. I always have tons of Chicken Stock on hand in the fridge or in the freezer. That is 90% of the work right there. I cook so much that I can make soup with about the same effort as opening a can of over-salted, whatever-brand-you-pick, tasteless, chicken noodle soup. Get with the program people! You can go from nothing to full on soup in no time at all if you save your leftovers with soup in mind. It is cheaper, tastes infinitely better, and is so much better for you. Or, for you lazy cave man MFrs, have the missus do it for you, you lazy fucks.
