Only I'll do it with my own creative twist. Some butter, when sauteing, then white wine to cool it off when the onions are done ...no pork strips.
I'll sprinkle some cashew nuts, kosher salt, celery, golden pearl onions, celery, white radish, and cubed potatoes, carrots and so on. I was thinking of using coconut milk, but I decided against it. Maybe I'll do so another time.
I've purchased everything except a few things. Tomorrow I'm off to my fish monger for giant clams, and shrimps, scallops, crab meat (perhaps?) and some kind of fleshy fish. I haven't decided what yet.
Hopefully I will not ruin it.

On the side, some rice noodles. To consume it I will use a spoon and some chop sticks, from a beautiful set my friend gave me as a gift, from Thailand. A glass of chilled white wine on the side, and some croutons I made, with toast and garlic butter.
Bon apetit

That actually looks quite delicious - so either I'm a good judge of food or that soup is heavenly.
Soup is a staple for a friend of my grandfather's. Soups 5 days out of 7. All organic, etc. She decided to change her eating habits after she got breast cancer. It is so much easier than preparing those fanciful meals.
I haven't given myself the time to practice eating healthy and the more I'm learning, the more I regret each day that passes in which I'm not. Every post made here on this forum showcasing healthy and delicious looking food is continually making it more attractive.

Pasta, eggs, bacon, white wine, ham, Parmesan cheese, cream of mushroom soup (or not), Kefalotyri cheese, mozzarella cheese. Always add the eggs last over a low heat. Cook the pasta al dente.
Alternatives You can then add broccoli, carrots, or any vegetable you like.

I don't know about that Fettuccine Carbonara:no: Even just looking at it.
That meatloaf looks delicious. I use a lot of finely chopped onions and green peppers in mine. Chicken curry looks great too. Damn I'm now hungry! And actually, the minestrone looks delicious.

Beef tenderloin pan-fried in olive oil and cognac, after a day of marination in white porto wine, nutmeg, salt, pepper, olive oil, water, and red-wine vinegar.
Vegetables (carrots, red and green peppers, mushrooms, onion) fried in oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and finished off with fortified wine.
Basmati rice with a few peas in it for colour.

Caramelized apples, for dessert. [The chicken is still in the oven]
Apples, walnuts, pine-nuts, butter, a touch of cognac (Metaxa, of course), brown sugar, a dab of maple syrup (to keep it Canadian), cinnamon, dried apricots and figs [gifted from a friend oversees], raisins, and in the end some shaved almonds.
