Seasick Aquarium Soup

Ingredients:

1 Stalk of Celery (seaweed)
1 Small jar of Artichoke Hearts
1 Small Can Chicken and Rice Soup
Blue Food Coloring
Green Food Coloring
1 Cup Goldfish Crackers (fish shaped crackers in the cookies/crackers section of your grocery store)

Directions:

Remove celery stalks, remove celery heart and chop it into small pieces.  Using a paring knife, cut each stalk into long, stringy pieces, leaving the leaves attached.  Drain the artichoke hearts and cut into pieces about the size of a penny.  Prepare soup according to the directions on the can and add the chopped celery heart, the stringy celery stalks and the cut-up artichoke.  Heat on low temperature and add two or three drops of green food coloring and same number of drops of blue food coloring until the soup is the color of a seawater color but darker to make it look like it is old (dead sea).  Heat to just to a boil or until the stringy celery is limp.  Using a “clear” Pyrex (oven-proof bowl), carefully pour in the hot soup.  Pull a few stringy limp celery so it hangs over the bowl.  The artichoke and rice will sink to the bottom like dead sea creatures and plants.  Gently lay the Goldfish on top of the soup – they will turn on their sides to look like dead floating fish.
