So, I am thinking that there needs to be more soup in my life. So, I am collecting recipes. If anyone has any good soup recipes they would like to share, please do. Bring it!!! :)
Slow Cooker Lentil and Split Peabasil80November 11 2011, 16:40:17 UTC
From The Vegan Slow Cooker by Kathy Hester. Made it the other night for dinner.
2 Tbs Olive Oil 1 small onion, minced (I used dried and increased the water a bit) 1 C lentils 1 C split peas 6 C water 2 Tbs bouillon--chicken flavored. I used 4 little cubes 2 bay leaves 1 tsp dried tarragon 1/2 tsp dried marjoram (didn't have, so I used thyme--I have a lot in the house!) 1/4 tsp ground rosemary or 1 tsp dried leaves (I was short here, as well) salt and pepper to taste 6 oz fresh baby spinach.
The night before, she wants the minced onions sauteed in the olive oil until lightly golden. It also says something about garlic, but there is no garlic in the ingredients list and I ignored this in any case.
Day of, dump everything except spinach into a crock pot, turn on low and cook 6 to 8 hours. 30 minutes before serving, add spinach.
It tastes really good, but if you want to hold this for a while, you might want to withhold the spinach until you are reheating it. In fact, it tastes even better when it has had a chance to set up a bit--as pea soups generally do.
