Soupasana

I found this soup recipe in my college’s newsletter few weeks ago, and cut it out to make later. Tonight I finally got around to it.

Vegetable Lentil Soup

Ingredients

• 1 entire broccoli cut up in chunks
• 4 carrots chopped
• 4-5 garlic cloves crushed
• 1 tbsp of curry powder
• 6 cups of vegetable broth
• 2 onions chopped
• 1 big sweet potato cubed
• 1 can lentils drained
• 2 cups water
• pepper to taste

Directions

Combine all ingredients and cool until all vegetables are tender. Puree the soup in a blender. Freezes well. Serves 8 to 10.

This was the easiest soup I ever made. I have this strange fear of cooking soups. Mainly, because of having to make broth, I think… So these guys remove the anxiety…

Essentially, you just fill the pot with broth, chop a whole bunch of vegetables into it, and cook…

I learned a lesson today – do not blend hot liquids. I poured the soup into the blender to puree, but the hot steam rose up (of course), and I almost burned myself. We got the hint and ate the soup just like that. I’ll have to wait to puree until it cools down.

Trying out new product – mini baguettes for the oven. This was perfect. You put it directly on the oven rack for 8 minutes, it comes out hot and crunchy on the outside, brilliantly doughy inside.

Carnivore land…
