I have just tasted the fruit of my creation, and it is good.
The 5 gallon pot of soup that sits simmering on my stove has a delicate balance of sweet elements (1 onion, 4 carrots, 1 whole bag of celery) earthy elements (1 potato, 1 large yam, 1 lb of assorted beans) a handful of macaroni for texture, and a massive fistful of garlic cloves, because garlic is fucking excellent. Directions for Excellent Soup: Soak beans all day, all night, and all day again because you are lazy as hell. Replace with fresh water and fill 3/4 to top of pot. Set to boil. Put potato and yam in microwave for 2 minutes, then 3 minutes, then 5 minutes, then 2 minutes, then chop into goodly chunks and deposit in pot. Curse loudly and reduce heat to 3 because pot is frothing over. Chop onion, quit crying like a baby, and throw into pot as quickly as can be done without burning onesself. Chop celery and carrots, then add them too. Throw in pasta. Realize you forgot the fucking garlic, chop up with knife because the house doesn't have one of them nifty garlic presses, and add the massive amount of garlic to the cauldron. Mill around kitchen for the next hour, washing and putting away dishes, cleaning counters, and fiddling with the heat because you're an imbecile. Set to simmer and walk away. Come back in a half hour and increase heat to 2. Come back 20 minutes later and set to three because you're hungry. Allow to cook 3 hours in total before you break down, declare the soup fit, and consume.
Deliscious!
