#soup magic

[soup-of-the-day-official]

the soup exacts its price

it serves with one spoon and eats with the other, taking as much as it gives. it fills my mind with visions, but burns away my essence, like a flame on the wick of a candle. destroying me as it gives me purpose.

all that you have, all that you are, you must be prepared to give to the soup. it demands the ultimate sacrifice. that is what it means to become one with it.

i know now what i must do.

i must make that sacrifice. i must go deeper.

Late night Lammas meal. Incorporated water magic into my Lammas by making a vegetable barley herb soup! Contains corn, pot barley, carrots, peppers, onions, yellow zucchini, melody tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, basil, lemongrass, dill, coconut milk and a few pinches of salt. My oven isn’t working, so I couldn’t bake bread, but bought these mini wholewheat bagels and added some cream cheese and basil and dill to it.

Happy Lammas to those that celebrate it and Happy Imbolc to my friends on the other side of the hemisphere.

and the breadsticks shall crumble and the Broth shall boil red with the blood of the damned and Soup shall subsume the land and all will become Soup as once it was Soup

Stockpot to Stockpot; Broth to Broth

the land and the Soup shall be one and the people and the Soup shall be one and God and the Soup shall be one

all that is broken shall be made whole for the Goodness of the Soup shall deliver us

Since it worked so well yesterday, here's today's soup:

Second Day of Covid Soup

some ginger (I have so much ginger) a clove of garlic

the rest of the parsley some pepper

the other half of the onion another bay leaf

the rest of a salad (a bit wilted) one brokkoli

2 wiener sausages some coconut oil

thyme and majoran the last jar of dodgy homemade broth from two years ago (probably beef)

Roast the ginger, onion, and brokkoli stems in some coconut oil. Put the salad in and reduce. Put the broth in and let simmer. Remember the garlic, chop, put in, and let simmer some more. Puree. Put in the bay leaf, the pepper, the thyme and majoran, and the chopped wiener, let simmer for 15 minutes. Put in the good parts of the brokkoli, let simmer for another 15 minutes, put in the parsley, take off the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Not as yummy as yesterday's soup, but still good.

Soup really is magical when you're sick. I just made myself some, with ginger and garlic and what I think is thyme but could be other herbs that look similar because I came across this post yesterday that said they're healing, and also a lot of other stuff because I need to have a bit more substance than just aromatics. And lo and behold, suddenly my throat doesn't feel as raw any more, and I feel a lot more stable temperature wise. Magic 🍜

One thing that's a little bit sad about improvising meals is that you can't recreate it when it tastes really good. I have probably already forgotten an ingredient or two, I don't know how much of it I put in, and even if I did, I cannot put down in a recipe 'that weird wrinkly orange bell pepper from the back of your fridge' or 'two jars of dodgy homemade broth from two years ago with no labels (probably beef)'. Ah wait, I can^^

First Day of Covid Soup

some ginger a clove of garlic

some parsley a bay leaf

half an onion some pepper

two sausages (Wiener) some coconut oil

that weird wrinkly orange bell pepper from the back of your fridge

two jars of dodgy homemade broth from two years ago with no labels (probably beef)

Roast the onion, the chopped bell pepper, the ginger and the garlic in the coconut oil until theres a bit of the tasty black stuff at the bottom. Put in the broth and let simmer for as long as it takes to clean up whatever dirty dishes you got lying around. Puree. Put in the bay leaf, the pepper, the probably thyme, the chopped wieners and the chopped carrot (oops, forgot to list it), and let simmer for 25 minutes. Put in the parsley, turn off the heat, and let rest for another 5-10 minutes.

Spell Challenge Day 11: Vegetable Soup for Creativity and Inpsiration

(word inspired by: soup)

Here is some kitchen magic to help bring creativity and inspiration when you need it as well as give you a yummy meal.

You will Need:

Beans of choice (I personally use Red or Kidney; creativity, inspiration)

Tomato (creativity, positive energy)

Carrots (visions, creativity)

Onions (positive energy, dreams, inspiration)

Green beans (creativity, inspiration)

Peas (positive energy)

Basil (focus of the mind, success)

Parsley (passion)

Sea Salt

Onion Salt/Powder (positive energy, dreams, inspiration)

Black Pepper

Rosemary (creativity, inspiration, success)

Turkey Broth (for a vegan/vegetarian dish can be replaced with vegetable stock or tomato soup/paste)

Steps:

In a large pot begin to boil your water. Mind you I am no chef but I always start with just the basics of getting your water ready. I usually, personally, do half water half broth but feel free to change this as you please, this recipe is pretty flexible. Add your broth to the water.

Wash all of your veggies. If you don’t have fresh vegetables, its alright, frozen and canned ones work just fine. I honestly use a mix of frozen and fresh when making soups. Begin chopping your veggies that need it, carefully of course.

Once you have everything chopped up add it to your broth. Generously season with sea salt and pepper (or to your taste). Add a dash of parsley, basil, onion powder and rosemary. Taste it regularly to ensure you like the taste.

Stir your soup occasionally clockwise. Each time you stir imagine the energies of the soup increasing and building up with your intent, which is to inspire you and get your creative juices flowing. Be sure to carefully skim any foam forming at the top. When stirring, “Soup soup for the mind, creativity I will find.” Say it once or twice each time you stir.

Cook until all vegetables are nice and cooked through. I usually keep it at a low boil for most of the cooking time and keep it covered. I prefer cooking on a low or medium flame/setting when it comes to soup. 

Let it cool a bit but serve when still hot. If you desire a starch with it you can serve it over potatoes, rice or noodles of your choosing or you can just eat the soup as it is. Eat and enjoy. 

For extra energy or inspiration I like to play music as I cook and eat to help.
