Penny dipped the spoon into the steaming soup, scooping some up and blowing on it gently to cool it a bit before taking a taste. The soup was simple but hearty and it had a nice taste to it, perhaps better than Penny was even expecting if she would admit as much. "No, it's quite good, Gen!" she said sincerely. "I can hardly believe you have accomplished so much! Not that I doubted you but it seems a lot and I wouldn't even know where to begin!"
With another smile, Penny broke off a small bit of bread to taste, finding that satisfactory as well. She imagined that it wasn't horrible eating simply every day. After all, so much of what was set out for them at home went to waste.
