Broccoli and potato soup

The light is quite low, the white balance is yellow, and the ISO unbearably high, eeew, we hate it that high and every food element is unappealingly old and on its last leg, potato had buds growing out its eyes, the onion growing a stalk, the garlic clove growing one too, the broccoli opened and fading to yellow languishing down there in the crisper for weeks and the chicken broth sitting idle on the refrigerator shelf for over a week possibly two. I actually smelled the broth before using it to check if it reeked. Everything is questionable and yet this soup is satisfying beyond description. With its butter and vermouth sauce in seconds, it hits the spot precisely and I wonder why I didn't do this earlier, singe a few vegetables to char and bring the whole pile to a boil.
