Lazy people food III

More on my series of relatively easy-to-make recipes. I've realized that I'm a terrible shopper, mediocre cook, and totally abysmal organizer, and my culinary "creativity" is based on the need to get rid of things before they go mouldy. (If you keep an opened can of coconut milk in the fridge too long, it forms an interesting bright orange bacterial scum.)

Potato/broccoli/duck flavour soup:

1. Chop several cloves of garlic, depending on how much you like it. I like it a LOT. Saute in a couple tbsp of veggie oil.
2. Chop 6 small/4 big potatoes, put in the pot with the garlic and add enough water to come up to about 1 L (this was an bit of an estimate; I think my saucepan holds a bit over 1 L. blender jug holds 1.25 L ) (yes, I'm the kind of grammar nut who will put a space between a number and its unit and capitalize "L" for liter)).
3. Add stock cubes (whatever flavour you like).
4. This is the fun part: add about 1 tbsp duck fat and drippings (the fat's been in my fridge since April(!) before modern preservation processes people used to use animal fat to seal food containers so I figured it'd be safe in the fridge). Animal fat makes things taste freaking awesome. I didn't have any milk or cream and I'm trying to cut down on dairy, so...
5. Boil until the potato pieces soften; throw in chopped broccoli - again, amount depending on how much you like broccoli.
6. Simmer for a minute or so, remove from heat 'cos broccoli cooks fast.
7. Throw in blender and puree.
