A can strainer. It allows you to drain canned goods with one hand while keeping everything in the can instead of going down the drain.

I think I’ve only eaten a cold soup maybe, oh, once in my lifetime. They’re all over the place, just not on my table. But I’m thinking that could change with this recipe for Cool Cucumber Soup. I love the simple ingredients used and that it probably packs a mean flavor punch.
