I got an email this morning from my sister for a chain mail type recipe swap thing. The idea was that the recipe was supposed to take about 5 minutes to write down so I instantly thought of this random super easy soup (type thing) that I made the other day for dinner. It was pretty much just a grab whatever I had in my house type recipe. I thought I would share with the world :)

Whatever I can find in my house soup

• 2 carrots
• 2 potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onions
• 1 can of lentils
• 3 cups vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce (i used some kind of zesty parmesan and it was really good)
• 1 cup water
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp dill
• 1 tbsp organo
• 1 1/2 tbsp garlic powder

1. chop carrots and potatoes and boil in a pot until just starting to get soft about 3 mins
2. in another pot, heat the olive oil. chop the onion and add to pot. cook for about 3 mins
3. add carrots and potatoes to the onion pot. add the veg stock, lentils, water and spices
4. simmer on med/high heat for 20 mins or so
5. add tomatoe sauce and simmer for another 5 mins
6. if the "soup" is too thick, feel free to add some more water
7. enjoy :)

Today is the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition. I'm so happy it's fallen on a friday so I can truly celebrate tonight without worrying about the reprocussions tomorrow morning.
