A soup was prepared with water (2 C), and blending 1 tomato, 1/2 t Basil, onion slice, and 1 clove garlic. A stalk of celery and a green onion was sliced and added and the soup boiled for a few minutes. The worms were sautéed for 1 minute with 1 t. sesame oil with a small amount of chopped ginger and chopped clove of garlic. This worm mix was pureed with a small amount of the vegetable soup, and then returned to the soup mix. Home made noodles were added to the soup and boiled for 5 minutes.
Result: a vegetable soup, with tomato red color and noodles.
Taste Tester 1 (Ron) very tasty, with only 1 grain of sand encountered in a cup of soup. No hint of worm, either in shape or taste, was discernable.
Taste Tester 2 (Ichi) ate a whole bowl of soup, and found this to be normal eating.
Taste Tester 3 (Nancy) found this like Minestrone soup, tasty and without any aftertaste of dirt or distress from worm shape.
