More Than You Can Imagine Homemade Caramel

I love how incredibly stupid Han Solo is. First, he goes to the homeworld of the gangster who's put a price on his head.  Then, he straight-up murders a dude in broad daylight for trying to collect on that price, and then instead of, I dunno, getting the hell out as fast as he can, he sticks around waiting for some old dude and his snot-nosed Outlands brat buddy to get on his ship, just because they promised they weren't broke.  And then  he totally puts his neck on the chopping block to save a princess because the aforementioned broke snot-nosed Outlands brat promised that she's rich, nevermind the fact that the world on which she was rich was just reduced to what Han thought was an asteroid field, which means her assets' value is questionable at best. He doesn't get any smarter, either.  Bumbles his way through the trilogy like an idiot, gets his dumb ass frozen in carbonite, then doesn't use protection and ends up with a patricidal son.  WHOOPS. Oh well...

It comes with cool nights and sunburned shoulders where the days are warmer than I'm expecting them to be, comes with sneezes from the leaf-mold allergies I stalwartly insist I don't have, and best of all, comes with a ravenous desire to make soups, stews, and other combinations of veggies boiled together in a big ol' pot. This is normally where I'd tell you that Cloud City's a big ol' pot where crazy's all boiled together, but that's a stretch even I'm not willing to make. So we'll just go with the fact that Cloud City's got fluffy white clouds all around it (truly the creativity in naming is jaw-dropping, Lando what were  you thinking). For my next act of grandeur, I'll be making this recipe with carrots, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. For now, though, this is potato soup how you didn't know you needed  potato soup to be.
