soup for the sick

Im not exactly sure why, but sadly ive been feeling a little bit under the weather. And yes, i do know that my jewish heritage says i should make the famous matza ball soup. But for one reason or another, i am against them. Its not a comfort food for me, unlike a nice chicken soup that is either spicy, or has corn and chicken in it. As long as its not plain, i like to slurp it up.

so on this day

• i came home
  
• put on a big pot on the stove
• started to cook

i started with

• a few shallots chopped up
• some olive oil

in pot at med heat. once softer fill pot with water

to this i added

• a few carrots, chopped up coarsely. look at picture for reference
• 1 chicken boullion
• sliced green onion
• cajun powder
• salt/pepper
• cayenne pepper

let it boil for 30ish min.

in another pan, just before eating i fried up

• a can of corn
  
• cajun spice
• cayenne powder

i mixed those together and made myself a danish croustini.
