this is also a last-chance salad soup, as i'm using up various things that are at their ends. i will need to get groceries in the next few days, after i deal with my hair, which is overdue.

so, i used up the last bit of olive oil margarine in a big sauce pan by melting it, then chopping up the rest of the kale stalks and frying them in the margarine on medium for three minutes, covered. the recipe calls for celery; i generally sub kale stalks for celery. i the added an entire bulb of chopped garlic and let it go another three minutes, covered.

then, i added the chopped broccoli stalks and a full box of vegetable broth [946 ml]. i let this come to a boil (covered). i then cooked it (covered) on reduced heat for fifteen minutes, and for another fifteen minutes on increased heat.

i did not blend anything, i just transferred it to a bowl and added

- 100 g of old cheddar
- 100 g of mozarella
(this uses up the cheese)
- chopped fresh dill
- nutritional yeast
- frank's
- pepper
- cayenne
- oregano
- cumin
- paprika
- hemp seeds
- ceasar

again, this is a big bowl of soup and i don't think i need toast, or an orange.

cooking the broccoli makes it edible, but it's broccoli. recall. the broth would benefit from a beef cube next time, i think.
