I have decided this is soup week

Today:

I made a Greek-style lemon soup with chickpeas and rice. I sauteed onions in olive oil, added broth, fresh lemon juice, chickpeas, and rice, and brought it all to a boil. I ate it with a pretzel baugette. Post-gym discovery today: Whole Foods truffles are delicious. Good thing they are $6 a box and I am too cheap to buy it.

Tomorrow:

Tomato soup from scratch. I'll probably sautee onions and celery in some butter, add canned tomatoes and broth, boil and puree, then mix in some whole milk. We'll see how that works out.

Thursday: Cauliflower soup, which may be the most delicious stuff ever. Lots of whole milk (though the original recipe calls for heavy cream, I think whole milk works just fine), butter, bits of celery and carrots and cauliflower, some sour cream mixed in right before serving.

It's supposed to rain for the rest of the week.
