Holy crap it's cold outside! 23 degrees on my way to work this morning!
Last night, I wanted to make something warm and gooey for dinner. We watch the news during lunch here at work and Mr Food comes on at the very end of the news show we watch. He had a Lentil bean soup that wasn't all that great. But I figured I could make it great!
Here's what I did:
2 TBS garlic
1 chopped onion
Sauteed for about two minutes in 2 TBS olive oil.
Add 8.5 cups of water, 4 chicken bullion cubes, two medium sized potatoes cubed, finely chopped celery, about a cup (or more if you want it meaty) of whatever meat you want (I used leftover ham), and 12 oz of Lentil beans. Bring to boil on medium heat. Add three or four chopped carrots. Reduce heat to low, add one or two bay leaves, cover and simmer for 40-45 mins. Salt and pepper to taste.
It was amazing! Perfect for this chilly weather.
