Let's see if I can remember what I did.
I think I fall back on creative experiments in cooking when I want to cook but I don't have the ingredients for any particular recipe. I just have a fridge and cupboards full of stuff.
So today I decided to make soup. I call it "American Peasant Stew -- Veggie Style."
Broth:
1 can black beans (with all water)
1 can tomato paste
2 cans water (I used the black beans can)
2 chicken bullion cubes
Herbs & Spices:
Salt (some)
Black pepper (lots)
Garlic (like 4 cloves)
1 whole stem oregano (chopped, stem not included)
"" rosemary ("")
Cayenne (a bit)
Basil (some)
Red pepper flakes (a fair bit)
Cumin (a bunch)
Paprika (LOTS)
Chunky bits:
Onion (a bit)
Carrots (1)
Chard (1.5 Handfuls)
Kale (1.4 Handfuls)
Orzo (not a whole lot)
Finely-picked-apart Cauliflower (some)
Gotta admit. I'm kind of a fan.
