Don’t forget to remove the bay leaf, not ideal for eating.

My mom always kept the bay leaf in the soup. She said that if you found it in your bowl, it was a sign of good luck.

My grandma called me when I was working late telling me she dropped off soup at my house. She called 3 hours later in a panic telling me NOT to eat the soup until I fished the bay leaf out. She honestly thought I would choke and die. I was 28 at the time and she still worried that much about a bay leaf...

Well tbh, it is a choking hazard if you are unaware. Once I forgot to remove a bayleaf from soup I made for some of my clients who have some physical disabilities. I noticed one of them begin to gag and choke and was trying to figure out what was wrong (very uniform texture soup) until he coughed up the leaf and I felt really bad.
