There would need to be some very specific circumstances for this to work. The general rule of all cooking is that it takes much longer to cook food than to eat it. So spending time cooking soup, rather than fleeing, would be a net loss of time. Whatever time the Russians were delayed eating your soup would be less than the time you were delayed in making it.
The only way it would work would be to just put the pot over the fire and run. Without someone watchin it, the window of time between soup getting hot and soup burning/boiling into nothing would be slim. A more likely version might be that starving Russian troops were so hungry that, upon finding ingredients left out, they stopped to make soup themselves.
- NicoJuicy 4y agoNot everyone needs to stay to cook soup :)
- rightbyte 4y agoThe persuit might be triggered by the Germans retreating. So the Soviet soldiers might not have advanced unless there was a retreat.
- sandworm101 4y agoIt is rather difficult to pursue someone who isn't already retreating. You cannot chase something that isn't already running away.
- scrumbledober 4y agothrow some ingredients in a pot, put it on the stove, and high tail it out of there. if it takes 20 minutes for the Russians to show up there's a nice fresh pot of lentil soup waiting for them
- ericbarrett 4y agoYou can keep a covered pot of lentils on a warm stove (or campfire) for hours, maybe days if the temp is right.
