I've been wanting soup for a while now. Not just any soup, but a lentil soup. And today I finally assembled everything I wanted to put into my soup, and it's bubbling happily on the stove. Though I think it's well on it's way to stew, rather than soup.
First, I browned two medium Vidalia onions, chopped, [edit:four cloves of garlic, lightly crushed,] then added a package (8?) of partly defrosted sausages. On top of that went two leeks, sliced, and two sweet potatoes, chunked. Plus a healthy quantity of black pepper. I added water to the level of the stuff, and dumped in a big bag of mostly lentils (some split peas had made it in, too). After that, I sliced up five biggish mushrooms, and added a package of frozen chopped spinach. More black pepper, a bit of salt, and it's just what I'd imagined, though I'm debating just a touch of cayenne.
Challah rolls are made, chicken thighs have been cooked in mango chutney, and I picked some leaves off the porch to supplement the mesclun I bought.
