Cooking instruction summary:

To make the soup - set a large stockpot over medium heat. Add in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, add in the onion. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add in the broccoli florets and the remaining ½ tablespoon of the olive oil. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green. Add in the broth, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Partially cover the pot with the lid and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 6 to 8 minutes, until the broccoli is tender. Add the spinach leaves to the pot (you may need to do this in two batches). Continue to cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.Very carefully, puree the soup in a blender until smooth (you’ll need to do this in batches). Return the soup to the pot. Taste and add additional salt/pepper if needed (I typically add about a ½ teaspoon additional salt, but it will depend on the broth you use). Ladle the soup into bowls. Stir in some chopped walnuts and cheese into each bowl. To make a spiderweb - add a few tablespoons of greek yogurt to a small bowl. Add in a tablespoon or so of milk. Mix together until completely smooth. You want it to be a consistency that is liquidy enough to squeeze out of the bottle, but not too runny. How much milk you will need to add will vary depending upon how thick your greek yogurt is (I’d say it is about 2 to 3 parts yogurt to 1 part milk but just use your judgement). Transfer the mixture to a squeeze bottle. Make three circles (one inside the other) on the top of the soup. Drag a toothpick through the circles, starting from the center and moving outward, to make a spiderweb. (I used the same method I used to make these sugar cookies with spiderweb icing).

Food Joke

One Sunday morning George burst into the living room and said, "Dad! Mom! I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, George's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married 30 years, she's a wonderful wife and mother, but, she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot." "Susan is actually your half sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her." George was brokenhearted. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said yes! We're getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half sister too, George." "I'm awfully sorry about this." George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news his father had shared. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half sister." "Hee hee," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention to what he says. He's not really your father."
