When I was little Sesame Street used to air a video short about making 
soup - I think it was supposed to teach you Spanish because it was all in 
Spanish, but I don't remember the words so much as the visual...it took you 
into a small inner city shop, where the lady picked out a whole chicken that 
was not wrapped in plastic and Styrofoam, some carrots with the leafy tops 
on them, some rice from a bin with a scoop, and a couple of onions - she 
then walked home and cooked some chicken and rice soup. I always thought 
that must have been some special soup because mine came from a can, my 
chicken from plastic, my carrots from the freezer, and my rice from a red 
box which we drove to the store to get.
