choose a very good soup pot, must be stainless steel. i prefer this be done on a gas range, but electric will do.
make sure there is a tight fitting lid.
prepare all ingredients ahead of time.
now
take a piece of rye bread, must be fresh, and must be with seeds
lay it on the bottom of the pot
do not use Pam or any other oil.
place a generous portion of pastrami, nicely marbled with fat on the rye bread
sprinkle some plain yellow mustard on the pastrami.
place a second piece of ryebread on top of the pastrami.
remove all the ingredients from the pot being careful not to disturb their arrangement, and eat.
you can then cook any soup in the pot if youre still hungry
