chomp! By Suus

Because first posts are always awkward, and I’ve never been any good at introductions anyway, I’m going to use this very first post on my almost-first blog to give you the very first recipe of the many I would like to share with you. And since nothing is more comforting than soup, this recipe will be for…exactly!

I made this soup tonight for the fabulous Marbles, not only because she’s the one who designed this blog to look as awesome as it does, and who has been patiently teaching me how to use it, but also because she’s awesome and funny and I dig the shit out of her. And cooking is my way of showing people that I dig the shit out of them.

Anyway, onto the soup! It’s a pretty basic recipe, but I love it anyway. I got the idea from some discount cookbook at a discount bookshop, and remembered the basic premise, which consisted of chicken, rice and spinach. I’m pretty cocky about my cooking abilities (hence this here blog), so I decided I didn’t need the book and instead concocted my own spinach soup with chicken and rice. Although this soup tastes good at any time of year I associate it with summer, probably because the dill and lemon add a flavor that is vaguely reminiscent of Greece. And because I am so in love with Marbles’ design for this blog (polka dots AND partying veggies!) I will dub this Marbles’ Soup. (more…)
