We had lentils sitting on the stove so I attempted to make something from them. I call it Le Crazy Soup!

Crazy Soup

Crazy, in that I just threw whatever suitable ingredients we had into a saucepan and watched it simmer. That I actually stayed to watch it is an achievement in itself. Though there may have been a short shower break in there somewhere.

To the left you will see exhibit one: Le Crazy Soup. Contents include pasta, vegetable stock, salt, pepper, onion, carrot, spinach, mushrooms, basil and lentils. It actually doesn’t sound all that bad when I read over it but it looks hectic.

It tastes okay, but is a tad acidic. I think it is from the lentil mix which had some barley in it. Apparently, you can add milk to soups which have an acidic taste to help neuturalise it but as I don’t have milk, I think soy milk would only make it worse.

This is pretty much indicative of how I cook. I have little interest in it and a low attention span in general so I just tend to throw whatever I want together. Then I heat the concoction and walk away usually to the computer and leave it to burn. Many saucepans have suffered as a result.
