We're basically addicted to soups. I personally could eat soup everyday, and we actually eat a number of them every week.

Sometimes though I want a soup, but don't have the time or energy, take your pick. So when I'm feeling lazy, I just do this:

  • Whatever vegetables that are in my fridge
  • potatoe or cauliflower.
  • onion and garlic.
  • vegetable broth
  • cream - if wanted.
  • lentils

I basically sautée the onion and garlic.

Then add veggies. Then add broth. Let it simmer. Purree it. Add seasoning. (Salt pepper, chili, vinegar, sugar...) Add some cream later in my bowl.

It works for every single veggie that I have tried.

You can add also tomatoe or tomatoe paste, lentils. Anything really. Whatever your fridge offers at that moment.

It is basically a lentil soup! I made this one the other day:

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 1/2 cups water

I served this with black pepper and fresh lemon juice. It was so good!
