Re: Gloria and a request

[Guest guest]

Any tried and true recipes that are YOUR personal favorites?

I'm a soup freak. I have a great lentil soup recipe but it's best made in a pressure cooker. Howvever you can just make it in a pot and cook it for an hour or so. I love it and people have requested I bring it to parties or just to their homes for dinner.

Gloria - please post the lentil recipe!

This recipe calls for 10 vegetable boullion cubes. I no longer eat salt so I don't use them. However, if this is for someone who doesn't care about the salt and just wants a bowl of great soup, use 8-10 cubes. I used to use them and it was great,

LENTIL SOUP

2 quarts of water

1 can stewed or diced tomatoes

1 med.carrot, chopped

2 cups minced fresh onions

2 stalks celery, chopped

1/2 green pepper, cut fine

1 cup cabbage, chopped

3 bay leaves (discard)

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup lentils, well washed

handful of fresh spinach

10 vegetable cubes

Cook everything in a pressure cooker for 15 min. at 15 lbs. of pressure.

(If you cook it in a regular soup pot, you'll have to judge when it's done. I love using the pressure cooker because it's fast and the soup always tastes great)
