Begin with fresh carrots. Peel and wash the carrots.  Then put the carrots back into the plastic baggie you brought home from grocery store.  Place the carrots (still in the bag) into the refrigerator.  While you are in the fridge, you should find Trader Joe’s Carrot Ginger Soup in a carton.  Remove this carton from the refrigerator and pour the contents (should be soup) into a pot. Place said pot on the stove.

Now go back to the refrigerator, remove the carrots you peeled and washed along with some ranch dressing.  Eat a few of these carrots with ranch dressing on them.  How the dressing gets on the carrot is up to you.  After a while, you will wonder how long it takes to make this stupid soup.  You will then realize that you had not turned the stove on.

Coconut milk should appear out of nowhere.  Also, no measuring should be necessary since the immaculate coconut milk (ICM) will show up in the quantity needed. Pour the ICM into the pot with the TJCGS until someone says “Dude, what is that? What are you doing?!” Look wryly back at your friend and say something along the lines of “I know what I’m doing.” Nevermind the fact that this is not true.  TJCGS will now be transformed into TJCG&CS. Well done.

Stir the coconut milk into the soup until you are pretty sure it looks like you know what you are doing.  Then return to the couch to have a couple more carotts.  After another few minutes you will once again remember that the stove is not on.  WIthout panicking, get off the couch, move to the kitchen and turn on the stove.  Be sure the burner you turn on is the one directly beneath the pot containing the TJCG&CS.  Now that you are there, stir the soup with a knowing look on your face.  You can also add to this same effect by saying something like “yeah.. that’s gonna work” quietly to yourself but loud enough for others to hear.

The soup should heat up in about the time it takes you to forget that you are making soup because you are explaining to your friend how therapeutic cooking is. The soup will burn. At this point that won’t matter since you will have filled up on carrots and ranch, which was the genius of your plan all along.

Yum-o.
