It is chilly and gloomy in sunny California today. I need something warm for lunch! I look in the refrigerator (rummage, rummage) and I find some chicken from last night’s sous vide, a container of brown rice that I made on Monday, half of a carrot, half of a green onion, some wilting dark greens from a ready-to-eat salad mix, and a partial box of chicken stock. Sounds like soup to me! Two minutes of chopping, two and a half minutes of microwaving, and thirty seconds of picture taking and I am having my lunch soup in 5 minutes!
