I made some awesome soup the other night! With lentils, which I love and highly recommend to everyone. I used this recipe which was super easy and incorporated things I already had in the kitchen (which is huge in our house, the more we can use, w/o having to go BUY more, the better). The lentils I've had for about 6 months and had yet to use them (after a cooking flop with a different soup, before I liked onions). The batch of soup was huge. After we ate our fill, I added more water to the pot and let it simmer for a tad longer, making the soup a little more broth-y and making it last a heck of a lot longer. (See below)
This is the whole pot in containers, which we might be eating for a week if I don't manage to pawn it off on all the sick friends we have right now. The three top containers are hanging out in the freezer right now, because if there is one thing I love, it's my freezer. It's like I just discovered it! I put everything in there and it lasts for so long! (Obviously!!!! How did I not get this before?)
Did I mention this is totally gluten free and vegan! And there's nothing more nourishing than a veggie broth! If anyone is going to cook veggies, they better be in a soup, then you get to drink all the nutrients that were cooked out the the veg!
