I will preface this by saying it is suppose to be a diet recipe. However it sounds so bad I don't think I would eat it no matter how hungry I was on the diet. This soup is not a joy!
Joy's Cold Vegetable soup
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) green beans with liquid
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) asparagus with liquid
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Sliced mushrooms
Chopped parsley
Combine green beans, asparagus, lemon juice, salt and pepper in electric blender; blend until smooth. Serve cold, garnished with mushroom slices and parsley.

Odd and weird recipes from my large cookbook collection.
Weird Recipe Origins
While persuing my many cookbooks, adverstising booklets and cooking magazines I sometimes come across a recipe where I truely wonder what the originator was thinking. Sometimes they just sound like a terrible combination of ingredients. Other times it is what I call, the ingredient that doesn't belong. This is usually a food company trying to promote the use of their product in an inappropriate recipe. Recipes that might have found favor in past decades are sometimes so out of date they seem weird now.
