WTF? Stay outta my head.
I swear to George....


I went to the store and bought three bags of beans/peas.

15 bean soup, white beans and split peas...

So where were you all while I was shopping?

I have lentils out the wazoo... well, not literally, lol, but you know what I mean.

I went to the arabic store and bought orange and green lentils, and didn't realize how few lentils you need to make soup. I now have a cereal box tupperware container with each of them in it.

I've made lentils so many different ways, I'm really getting tired of them!

Any other ideas for lentils???

No idea for lentils, but I've been meaning to make O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup for weeks. I finally purchased the ingredients and realized that I'll be dog sitting at someone's house starting on Friday. I don't want to make it and let it just sit around. I guess I won't get my soup until next week sometime. I did make chili last weekend though!

ETA: Jenn, the picture in your signature is beautiful. I just took one that reminds me of it at the house where I'll be dog sitting. They always have the most beautiful driveway in the fall!

I found it on Photobucket images, lol. Reminds me of where I grew up in the Poconos.

You may want to call your health care provider, I know nothing of Wazoos!

Are they similar to peas?

Recipes please?

You can make a cold lentil bean salad with fresh cilantro and cut up cucumbers...maybe some onions...

Oh... my mom would love that too! How do you make it??

[caseysmom]

I am not really sure someone in my ww meeting had brought it, I think you can ad lib as you go just cook the lentils till they are still a little firm and cool them and add what you like, I think chopped tomatoes, onions and cucumbers would be good and it is very good for you.

I just had the white bean soup...very tasty,,, I went too crazy with the boat motor as usual and it had no texture but everyone liked it...I told my daughter it had pork, didn't tell her it had pig cheeks

This isn't soup but if you want an idea for the lentils I often cook a pot of macaronni , throw in a can of mushroom soup and add a can of lentils. we all love it for a quick meal and a change.

This sounds so yummy; I plan to make it soon but since I detest apples but will cook w/them, is there a specific kind of apple to use or will any kind do?

I like to use Macintosh apples, because they're softer and break down easier in the soup. If you are not a fan of apples, do not use a firm apple like grannies or something like that. Macs tend to be great for sauces and cakes and pies, and I love their flavor as well.

Let me know what you think! I love this soup!

ps... I can't imagine detesting apples! I hate red deliciious apples, but that's just me. most apples I do like. Honeycrunch are SPECTACULAR, and only around for a few weeks each year.

Made a slightly changed version of this very simple recipe for Leek and Potato soup last Friday. Halved ingredients, used Knorr veg stock instead of chicken, left out the cream, added a little garlic and the merest pinch of chilli. It was yummy.

2 Leeks
2 Large Potatoes
2 Chicken Cubes
Knob of butter
Pepper
Single cream (optional)

Cut the leeks down the middle and slice and then fry gently in the butter

Chop the potatoes into small cubes put them into 2 pints of water with 2 chicken cubes. Cook until soft.

Add the leeks to the potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes adding the pepper, (a good 1/2 teaspoon).

As you serve you can add a small amount of cream, to make cream of leek and potato soup, but this is optional

Delicious with a crusty bread roll.

I was going to make the cauliflower soup, but forgot to buy leeks and celery when I was out shopping, so I'm cooking the Jerusalem Artichoke soup instead. Yumm! Now, if only my oven was working! (for the flutes)

Have any of you tried the recipes posted? Let's get some feed-back! Sorry, I haven't tried any of them yet.
