This makes basically 1 large serving.

1 cup water or soup stock 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 6 oz chopped broccoli 2 oz almonds 3 oz chopped onion 4 oz peas 1 tsp minced garlic 4 oz cooked black beans 2 oz cream cheese

Cook the broccoli and almonds over high heat with the water, olive oil, and salt. When they are mostly soft, add in the everything else except the cream cheese and beans.

Cook until everything is soft. Add more water/stock if necessary.

Transfer to a blender, add the cream cheese and beans, and blend until smooth.

Variations

It's goblin soup, so you can do basically whatever you want.

Olive oil: use any kind of oil, or butter. Almonds: use any kind of nut or nut butter. Beans: use any kind of bean or legume. Vegetables: There are 13 oz of vegetables. Use whatever combination you want. Just remember that harder vegetables need to cook for longer, so they go in at the beginning with the nuts. Cream cheese: use cream, sour cream, any kind of cheese, evaporated milk. Use 1-2 tsp of any herb or seasoning you want.

Combos I've tried: •Olive oil, spicy pistachios, refried beans, carrots, celery, peas, rice, spinach, garlic, cream cheese

3 cups potatoes, chopped into 1” or smaller cubes 1 cup soup stock 1 cup leek or onion, chopped small 1 Tbsp butter 3 Tbsp cream cheese ½ cup grated or cubed cheddar ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper

Over high heat in a large pot, cover the potatoes and leek/onion with water and boil them until the potato pieces are easy to pierce through with a fork. Strain out the water. Turn the heat to low. Roughly mash the potatoes, then add the soup stock, cream cheese, and butter. Stir to melt the cream cheese and butter. Then stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Add more soup stock if a thinner consistency is desired.
