ta-dah! I'm eating it right now and I have to say, for winging a recipe, I did pretty well. It's well seasoned. I barely put any salt in it at all, which is fine because the veggie stock was salty enough I'm sure. the potatoes got nice and soft and the lentils have just a slight bit of firmness to them. The peppers added just enough of a spice, but not enough to burn. I'm really glad I decided to eat healthy instead of reaching for that frozen pizza tonight..
I'm not a vegetarian, but lentils is something I eat almost every day.
I'm suffering from a serious lack of inspiration. I really need to shape up, or this 52 1/2 week challenge will be really dull.

My take on a biblical classic!

Genesis 25: 24-34:
24 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. 25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. 26 After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.
27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents. 28 Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. 30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”
33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left.
So Esau despised his birthright.

It's not a soup! It's a stew because the lentils absorb the water. It becomes thicker over time.

served in an Elias Brothers Big Boy soup plate. Buffalo china mid '60s to '70s. Life is good!
Saute finely chopped, garlic,celery stalk and carrot. Add a couple bay leaves. Add washed small french lentils (don't need soaking but I usually do anyway). Saute for a minute. Add stock-I used vegie stock for this-homemade from vegie trim and frozen.I also often add a piece of kombu seaweed for flavor and tenderizing. It will often disolve in the cooking depending on how long you cook it. If it doesn't I take it out and chop chiffonade style then return. Bring up to a boil and simmer until lentils are tender. The french lentils will retain their shape more than the large brown ones. Season with salt & pepper and some chopped lovage or parsley. Garnish with yogurt and more herbs cut chiffonade . Perfect with small crostini toasts and a salad.
another incredible recipe from heidi swanson. this was amazing and made mostly from things that cost $1 a pound in the bulk section :)
Lentil soup was once a food for the poor. Today, it is recognized as highly nutritious and provides a good source of protein, fiber, iron and potassium.
HARIRA SOUP
Traditionally used to bread the fast during Ramadan, Harira soup is a thick, rich, meal in itself.
* 1 lb. lamb, cut into small cubes
* 1 teaspoon turmeric
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ginger
* 2 Tablespoons butter
* 3/4 cup chopped celery and leaves
* 2 onions, chopped
* 1/2 cup parsley and cilantro, chopped
* 1 2-lb. can of tomatoes, chopped
* salt
* 3/4 cup lentils
* 1 cup chickpeas (canned are fine)
* 1/4 cup fine soup noodles
* 2 eggs, beaten with the juice of 1/2 lemon
Put the lamb, spices, butter, celery, onion, and parsley/cilantro in a large soup pot and stir over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomato pieces, and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes. Salt lightly.
Add the juice from the tomatoes, 7 cups of water, and the lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for 2 hours. Just before serving, add chickpeas and noodles and simmer for 5 minutes. Slowly stir in the lemon/egg combination.
Continue stirring to create long egg strands to thicken soup. Season to taste. Dust with cinnamon, to taste.
Makes 8 servings.
Fry 1 diced onion and 4 shredded carrots until onions are translucent. Add 1 cup lentils, 2 cups broth, 1 cup salsa. Simmer until lentils are soft.
So good I can't seem to take a picture of a full bowl, because I keep eating it before I remember to take a picture, hence the name :)

I took a recipe from one of Alton Brown's Good Eats episodes (I love that show). As you can see, it looks horrible. This is in part because I screwed up the recipe with regard to broth ratio and tried to do damage control after the fact. The texture is also bad but it actually tastes pretty good. Lentils are a great source of protein.
I went for a run and did some lifting later that night. I was already feeling more fatigued than I usually do. Not light-headed; just tired. There's also a dull ache in my stomach. Some form of hunger, no doubt.
