Green Soup by Tabitha Dial

Green SoupTabitha Dial(Halloween Night 2020)From a quiet keeping-space,I promise my motherghostto create meals and music.Even if fromdry bones and tangled memories,my vow as I unstem kale and spinach,add it to the copperlined pot with green onion, cilantro,yukon golds and snap peas.Remember when I made your favorite souplast year? I caramelize the onions and recallthat patient pot.I've spent almost 2 hours at the stove, there'sonly a little more: the garlic and gingersizzle in the pan, then slide into the pot. Another 10 minutes.I add the broth, taste. I follow the recipe,as one day I'll follow you. Blend in batches,return to pot, simmer, flavor with lemon juice,white vinegar, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder,and the sound of your name.More from Tabitha Dial ↓@TabithaDial on Instagram@tabithadial on SubstackHer book, Cheese Astrology: A Weekly Guide, is out nowListen to me read Apparition Appetizers by Tabitha on Instagram @rembrandts.cure
