If someone is making food, and making extra for you, would you tell them how to make it?

My husband and I have covid, and my sister in laws 2 kids have the flu.

So my mother in law made soup, she mad a big pot to split between both my husband and I and also for my sister in laws kids.

The thing is, my mother in law puts celery in her soup, and I absolutely hate celery for some reason and my husband knows this

Sooooooo my husband told my mother in law not to put celery in the soup because I hate it. So she dropped it off celery free.

My husband and I were eating it, and he tells me (very proudly) that he told his mom not to put celery in it because he knows I hate it.

I’m so embarrassed by this. I would have just picked out the celery, like no big deal. ( I’ve done this before because she always makes soup whenever anyone is sick. She is amazing) she probably thinks I was complaining about the celery, and now I’m wondering if she had to make like a separate batch for us, or if she had to go thru the soup and pick it out herself.

I texted her thanking her so much and told her that the celery wasn’t a big deal, that my husband just knows I don’t like it- not that I was complaining about it or anything ( I swear I wasn’t, he just always sees me take it out)

She said it was no problem but she probably thinks I’m so ungrateful 🙈🙈🙈

It’s not a huge deal but I feel so weird now 😂😂

My husband doesn’t get it- isn’t it kind of rude to tell someone how to cook something that they are making for you??
