This just in:  I created a soup.

I call it-

"I Don't Care, I Do What I Want Lentil Soup"

The Recipe

Ingredients:

Glug of olive oil

2 onions the size of shrunken heads, Diced into big toenail sized peices

6 or 7 cloves of garlic finely diced/ or a bulb, it just depends how much you need to have people around you

5-6 Potatoes the size of a black eye, preferable peeled to remove the spiney growths

2 or 3 cups of diced carrots, maybe peel those too

About 1 – 1 1.2 cups of lentils, you should rinse those first, heaven knows where they've been

Dried parsley a fair amount

Ground coriander maybe like a tablespoon

Garam masala a ton

chicken or veg stock,

Fresh coriander whatever you can find

Order Of Appearance:

So in a massive pot, because there's a lot of vegetables, and the lentils will expand to triple their size, add the glug of oil.

Turn the hob on 

Gently heat the oil and chuck in the diced vegetables

when it gets to a point it looks like the onions have turn transparentish, throw in the lentils

Add in the parsley, coriander, maybe some cumin, and garam masala, I suggest you focus on the masala

Salt n Pepa

Add some stock now, enough to cover the contents of the pot

Boil then Simmer until the lentils are cooked through

Cool, then Blend in a blender, or with a wand blender, both work fine

You may feel the need to add more broth if the consistency sickens you 

With some of that fresh coriander, pick off some of the leaves ( I happen to like a lot)

chuck 'em in the soup
