SOUP TUESDAY:
LAZY GREEK SOUP
If you paid attention to the economic
problems in Greece, you'll notice all the
comparisons that were made between
Iceland and Greece. Both were deal-
ing with two issues: the banking system
and membership (or lack there of ) with
the European Union.
More importantly, Icelanders love
putting lemons in things. It makes ev-
erything seem more healthy—even
though it might not be. Who cares?
Lemons are bright and yellow and Ice-
land is cold and dark. The lack of solar
energy correlates to a lack of actual en-
ergy, so here's a soup that will brighten
your day without taking too much ef-
fort.
This soup is best enjoyed when you
borrow money off your German friend
to buy the ingredients and the German
then bills you while insisting on cook-
ing it for you and pouts when you don't
have the money to pay him back.
Laturgreeksúpa: Lazy Greek Soup
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
2 Medium Zucchinis
3 Red Bell Peppers
350g Long Grain White Rice
8 Free-range Eggs
3L Cold Water
1 Handful of Parsley
Salt, Pepper, enough Vegetable Bouil-
lon for 3L of water, slices of Lemon and
3 or 4 big scoops of dried Oregano.
Directions:
1. Pour 3L of water into your pot with
your vegetable bouillon, boil and add
rice. When water comes back to a boil,
turn the heat down to low and simmer

6. Serve immediately with a garnish of
lemon slices. This sour/savoury soup
will have you salivating every time you
think about it. This might be the laziest
way to make Agolemon Soupa, and is
in no way traditional, but the flavour is
no slouch. This soup will straddle your
tastebuds like a colossus.

Remember to share this recipe with
your friends and loved ones. Also, send
us your recipes. Let's get through this
winter together.
One Soup Tuesday at a time.
WTF is a Soup Tuesday?
Winter is here. The darkness that
abounds will likely bring a lot of you
down, but don’t fret or give up—there
are a number of methods for fighting
off the winter blues: Reading, lýsi, sex,
drugs, alcohol, and—of course—soup.
Now, doing most of those things would
be mostly inappropriate, if not illegal,
at the Reykjavík Grapevine’s offices (if
it were one of those “appropriate” of-
fices)—except for maybe the lýsi and
reading. And of course, the soup.
Lýsi is kinda disgusting and reading
is for nerds, so to combat the coming
full-scale attack of the SADs, we de-
cided to started a new tradition to help
us make it through the coming winter:
SOUP TUESDAYS. Yes! Soup Tues-
days! Every Tuesday, we’ll be making a
different soup in our shitty little office,
document the process and then show
you how to make one for yourself.
You can also send us your best reci-
pes (on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
or email), with a photo, so we can share
soup knowledge throughout the world.
Together we can make it through the
bad weather.
Solace and Solidarity in Soup.
Happy Soup Tuesday.
