Yes, apricots are quite a delicious new idea for a summer soup ingredient. You can have Armenian Soup with lentils, parsley, cumin and apricots plus lemon juice & vegetable stock, whilst you may be more familiar with Apricot Chicken soup for extra flavour. 

Waiter! There is an osprey in my soup!

Well, madame, what did you expect when you turned up your nose and said that the menu's offerings were for the birds?

Waiter, there's a spy in my soup!

No, it isn't an electronic bug in your seafood chowder, that might worry you. It is a Balmain Bug, a mollusc & a local delicacy, carefully farmed for your delectation and which I hope you will enjoy. 

Waiter! There is a huge bill for a hospital stay in my soup!  

Our apologies, madame! We keep kicking them out of the restaurant but the bill collectors sneak in anyhow.

Waiter, there's an unicorn hair in my soup!

Ah yes, madam, we put those in for good luck: sleep with it under your pillow and you may wake in Narnia.

Waiter, there's a shopping list in my soup!

So that is where the cook's shopping list went to!?  Our apologies, & your dessert of deep-fried vanilla ice-cream, with caramel or chocolate sauce will now be on the house.

Waiter! There is a nugget of gold in my soup! 

Oh dear, the chef must have misunderstood when we asked him to put 24 carrots in it.

Waiter, there's a garden gnome in my soup! 

Oh, it is only a small ornamental garden gnome, that must have been picked up as a novelty, when the cook was selecting fresh vegetables to use in preparing your home-made vegetable soup. As well as a fresh bowl of soup, you might like to keep the ornament for your children to admire.

Waiter! There is someone's tax return in my soup!
