Lentils a la Lana
Mince 1 small or 3/4 large onion
thinly slice several stalks of celery
mince half a bell pepper (i used red)

peel and mince a ginger knob (mine had turned blue gray in the fridge but was fine)
1 tsp minced garlic (mine was in the jar)
Melt one TBSP butter and small amount of olive oil in deep soup pot. Put above vegetables into the melted oil to soften and absorb it, on medium heat.

I really like to eat most soup but am not good at making it. I've ruined more pots of soup over the years. Sometimes by adding one ingredient that just fights with the other flavors. I've curdled cream soups, etc. A local restaurant makes a really yummy beer cheese soup that we love. My other issue is that neither of us likes lentils or most beans - it's a texture thing for me - so it eliminates a lot of wonderful homemade soups. The flavor is great but I "eat around" those lentils. Hope you feel better soon!!
ReplyDeletePersimmons are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten a persimmon! I could go for some soup. Actually that's on the menu tomorrow I believe. We ate so much the last few days!!
ReplyDeleteYum-yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks delish--I've never had persimmon either..what does it taste like? Sorry you're under the weather...hope you feel better tomorrow hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteHi LeeAnna,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the persimmon tip! I tried peeling them ....but that was just messy! Then cutting them in half and scooping out the filling, like an avocado...was also not the best trick to get out all the fruit. Maybe just slicing them might just do the trick!
Soup recipe looks great! A hunter gatherer soup...hunt and gather whats in the fridge and cupboards!
enjoy the weekend!
