Hello, my name is Ally Finkel. Welcome to my blog. What does my signature Swirl Soup recipe look like? Well, as of June 11th, 9:45pm it looks like this:
Combine in a large soup pot:
- The swirling thoughts of a thirty-six year old woman who just stepped off the “work-world-merry-go-round.”
- A few cups of good stock.
-
Very slowly bring to a simmer without boiling, occasionally stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent burning.
- Slowly whisk in her desire to live an authentic and happier life.
- Stir in luxurious naps, long conversations with good friends, visits to museums, good movies, library books with interesting topics, and then add more naps.
- Add a measure of narrative therapy and a heaping tablespoon of journaling.
Skim the impurities from the surface.
- Add a sizable portion of daily walks and informational interviews.
- Mix thoroughly with visits to the beach and other beautiful places that sing to her soul. Puree until smooth and capture in a gratitude journal.
- Gently blend opportunities to enhance strengths and optimism.
Bring to a boil with the love of her kind and supportive boyfriend, family and friends, and then slow cook to allow natural talents to caramelize; this gives the soup its characteristic depth of flavor and rich colors.
Serve hot or cold, garnished with:
- A finely chopped sense of humor.
- Zest from an open heart.
- Dollop of tears or sour cream.
- Fresh sprigs of laughter.
- Hopes and dreams to taste.
Vary the ingredients, as desired.
Adjust the seasonings, ladle with care.
Swirl and serve.
