Cooking instruction summary:

To make the soup - set a large stockpot over medium heat. Add in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, add in the onion. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add in the broccoli florets and the remaining ½ tablespoon of the olive oil. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green. Add in the broth, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Partially cover the pot with the lid and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 6 to 8 minutes, until the broccoli is tender. Add the spinach leaves to the pot (you may need to do this in two batches). Continue to cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.Very carefully, puree the soup in a blender until smooth (you’ll need to do this in batches). Return the soup to the pot. Taste and add additional salt/pepper if needed (I typically add about a ½ teaspoon additional salt, but it will depend on the broth you use). Ladle the soup into bowls. Stir in some chopped walnuts and cheese into each bowl. To make a spiderweb - add a few tablespoons of greek yogurt to a small bowl. Add in a tablespoon or so of milk. Mix together until completely smooth. You want it to be a consistency that is liquidy enough to squeeze out of the bottle, but not too runny. How much milk you will need to add will vary depending upon how thick your greek yogurt is (I’d say it is about 2 to 3 parts yogurt to 1 part milk but just use your judgement). Transfer the mixture to a squeeze bottle. Make three circles (one inside the other) on the top of the soup. Drag a toothpick through the circles, starting from the center and moving outward, to make a spiderweb. (I used the same method I used to make these sugar cookies with spiderweb icing).

Food Joke

A husband is at home watching a football game when his Wife interrupts, "Honey, could you fix the light in the hallway? It's been flickering for weeks now." He looks at her and says angrily, "Fix the light? Now? Does it look like I have a G.E. logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." "Well then, could you fix the fridge door? It won't close properly." To which he replies, "Fix the fridge door? Does it look like I have a Westinghouse logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." "Fine," she says, "Then, would you at least fix the steps to the front door? They're a mess and a real hazard." "I'm not a damn carpenter and I don't want to fix the steps," he says. "Does it look like I have a Black and Decker logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." He continued, "In fact, I've had enough of all your Bickering. I'm going to the bar!" So, the pleasant husband goes to the bar and drinks for a couple hours. Sometime later, he starts to feel guilty about his treatment of his wife, so he decides to return home and help out with the chores. As he walks into the house, he notices the steps have been repaired. Then, as he enters the house, he notices the hall light is working again. And, to top it off, when he goes to get a beer from the fridge, he notices the fridge door has been fixed. "Honey, how'd this all get fixed?" His wife replies, "Well, when you left, I sat outside and cried. Just then, a nice young man asked me what was wrong, and I told him. He offered to do all the repairs, and all I had to do was either have sex with him or bake him a cake." "So, what kind of cake did you bake him?" asks the husband. "Hellooooooo!" she replies emphatically, "Do you see a Betty Crocker logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so!"
