Today's Words, By Aidan

Mushroom (he said this all by himself after seeing a mushroom on my computer screen)

Mammal

Oboe

Cello

Sick Soup

1 T olive oil

1 large onion

A large handful baby carrots, sliced

2.5 Russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1/2 cup of corn

1 can of roasted tomatoes (or other)

1 box of veggie stock (or water and bouillion)

About a cup of Trader Joe's "Mixed Grain" product - quinoa, garbanzos, orzo, and couscous

Saute onion and carrots in oil in your favorite soup pot until the onion starts to soften. Add all other ingredients, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the grains are edible and lovely, about 30 minutes.

Garnish with a heavy sprinkling of chopped garlic and finely chopped parsley or spinach.
