What's Cooking?

- Lentil Soup -
I always try to have a nice big pot of soup in the fridge during the week.
It makes a wonderful light dinner when paired with a salad and some warm toasty bread.

As you know from my 'tweet's' I recently confessed that I have trouble following recipes but I have some good amateur pictures to compensate for that :) 

The onions sauteing in my huge 6 quart soup pot

I didn't add the called for carrots because I decided to add.....

wait for it.....

CAULIFLOWER :) 

(and I didn't think they would play off of each other well in this particular soup)

I'm on a cauliflower kick lately, especially for soups it creates such a great base both of flavor and texture

Here I added the dry lentils to the pot

Filled the pot with water, added herbs (thyme & some fresh rosemary, salt & pepper) 

Let it boil and then simmer and after some cleanup and a few dishes 

voila! 

Delicious lentil soup for dinner. 

not the prettiest soup to photograph, hehehe :) but it tasted amazing! 

Serving Suggestion: 

With some of the heartier soups I like adding a scoop of cooked rice to the bowl. 

Delish!
