Some of the most satisfying of all supersoups are American: New England chowders, Louisiana gumbo, Philadelphia pepper pot, California cioppino, for which Ivens has traditional prescriptions. Ivens also contributes such variants as lamb and split pea soup (adding a Middle Eastern flavor with mint, dill and yogurt), a soup of short ribs and lentils, and another made with beef and beans. A summer classic rarely seen on U.S. menus is Portugal's caldo verde, a delicate blend of kale, potatoes and sausage.

In between, by way of atonement, Cutler has admirably showcased a parade of comedy bits, from the infamous live lamb to Keith Rogal's slimy portrayal of Corporate Evil as the interloping lawyer. Still, no amount of carbonation can lighten this load; Curse would weigh down the blithest spirit with distaste for these starving and unstarving misfits, compassion for their situation, and deep-rooted discomfort at their closeness to a twisted...
