The best rainy day soup ever. This soup is really easy to make, and is loaded with really great veggies which makes the soup really chunky. I love this soup on a really cold and rainy day. Its a really great comfort food recipe. Yummy Yummy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
5 garlic cloves minced
3 1/2 cups of water
4 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped cauliflower
1 cup cubed red potatoes
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped zucchini
1 cup chopped yellow squash
2 cups half and half
3 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large stock pot melt butter and sauté onions and garlic until tender.
2. Add water and bouillon powder, and bring to a boil.
3. Measure out flour in a separate bowl and add some broth from the other pot and which together.
4. Slowly add the flour mix to the rest of the broth.
5. Add the broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. You will notice that the water barley covers the veggies, so cover the pot with a top and stir until the veggies are tender.
6. Add the half and half and the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Don’t let the soup come to a boil, as the cheese will burn.

Serve and enjoy.

Serves about 4 people.

Awhile ago, I posted some images I took of some kitchen tools. I decided I wanted to that again with the intention of making a moo sticker book. So I started shooting, things were going well. Then I finished, and realized I shot everything at 1000 iso. Great. Woo. Boo. So sorry for the grain. Ughhhh. I wanted to do some graphic compositions with only stainless steel stuff. Ive been trying to find good bright paper which is hard. Anyway, it was a good experiment to say the least, other than the whole iso issue. You know what, actually. I shoot with a 5D. Not the cool new one, the old school one. The tethering software opens like 6 programs to work, but you can change exposure and iso and shutter from the computer. I think my 5D changed it on me because it secretly wants me to get the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Don’t you think thats probably what happened?

Do you ever catch the light right at the perfect place where you can see all the dust floating through the air? Thats what this picture that I did with Emily reminds me of.

When I first moved here, I was a vegetarian. The cafe at Otis where I went to school was horrible. I lived off grilled cheese and tomato slices. I wish I would have made more of an effort to eat tomatoes like this:

Every time I think about hamburgers or see one I think of the Hamburglar. Why? I have no idea. Maybe its because hamburglar is way more fun to say than hamburger.

Creepy right? Well the whole time I was shooting these mini hamburgars or ’sliders’ with Adam, all I could think about was the hamburglars fat face and his mask.
