Home Alone (Soup) Experiment

I'll admit that it is very hard for me to get turned on about cooking when I am by myself, which partially explains the immense joy I get out of preparing meals with loved ones. For the next 2 weeks, my partner is on set shooting a movie 12 hours a day. I realized very quickly that I have to eat SOMEthing during that time, yet I have no inclination or taste for anything that requires preparation. I've been mostly sticking to toast and apples, and focusing on making a really fantastic meal for us to enjoy when he gets home. And, no, apples and toast apparently are not satisfactory for my dietary needs. Then I tried the Cashew Ginger Carrot soup and spinach pictured. So easy and super yum! I put a handful of spinach in the soup and heat it up. Then added some black pepper and chili powder and sriracha (my fav condiment). It was stellar. With toast ;)
