Feeding Yourself 101, Tuesday, First Period
"I forget what we've done so far," Raiden, notoriously terrible of memory, admitted cheerfully, "so I don't remember if we did soup or not yet. So we're doing soup this week.
"Now, the thing about soup is you don't need a recipe. You can use a recipe! But even then you can follow it loosely. Use what you have, try to make sure the flavors don't clash in a weird way, and you're golden. You can't mess it up. The basic rule is that you're going to want some kind of fat, some aromatics--garlic, onion, ginger maybe--some vegetables and maybe some meat, and broth. Or...water. I can't stop you. But broth is better! You don't even have to make your own broth! They sell it in cartons at the grocery store now, it's amazing. So you put your fat--oil, butter, bacon grease, whatever floats your boat--in your pot, you cook your aromatics and then your vegetables and maybe meat in it, you add broth until it looks like soup, you maybe throw in a bay leaf, you let it simmer for a while, and ta-da! Soup! I'd say it's foolproof, but then they'll invent a better fool, so uh, be smarter than that? I don't know. Anyway, let's make soup. Think about your favorite kind of soup, and then find a recipe for it, or just try to figure it out on your own. Sometimes that's more fun."
