For lazy cooks or ill people.

Put olive oil in the pot. When it is warm, put on it some spices - whatever you have and it might be good together.  Cut garlic, onion and carrot in half. Put in the pot, mix. Add water. This is one big pot of soup with nothing. All other ingredients are luxury. In the end you can add salt, not to destroy the minerals. When you get fed up of the soup, you just throw in rice and you get risotto - very good! To have luxury i advice celery or any other vegetable.  For ever more luxury, you can throw in the something else, more compact. 

Cheap and healthy, i tell you. After three days on this diet, you want a sandwich and an icecream.  But this is actually not your true self, but some bacteria manipulating your soul.
