grilled cheese and homemade soup

it's raining. it's game 7. it's the final presidential debates.

i don't have time to spend time in the kitchen.  i need to watch the debates, in between watching the giants while re-tweeting almost everything that chris rock tweets.

so dinner had to be easy - grilled cheese (with an extra sharp canadian cheddar) and homemade beef and vegetable soup (i made and froze it last week) in my A mug from Anthropologie


recipe for the soup:
saute onions until soft in olive oil
add cut carrots saute for 2 minutes
add enough beef broth to cover all of the veggies that you will add (i like better than bouillon au jus base)
add dash of oregano (fresh or dried)
add cut cabbage, green beans and stewed (canned) tomatoes 
simmer until flavors melt and veggies are tender (but not mushy)

really, you should use any extra veggies that you have on hand.  bouillon is inexpensive so make more than you think you need and freeze it.  you'll be happy you have it the next time you don't want to cook but you don't want to order greasy chinese (save that for hangovers).
