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

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
