- Some friends came over last night for dinner and an underwater
- slide show. At 7:00 I started cooking, still with no clue
- what I was going to make. As the menu evolved on the stove,
- I ended up making a quick soup, broiled marinated vegetables
- (recipe to follow in another post), whole wheat couscous with
- toasted almonds, raisins, and miso, and a dish of banana squash
- with margarine. Not bad! Here's the soup, approximately:
-
- Yet Another Spontaneous Soup
- ----------------------------
-
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 patty pan squash, sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 potato, cubed (note that one cubed equals one :-)
- 6 roma tomatoes, halved
- 1 can garbanzo beans, drained
- 1/4 cup brown lentils
- 2 tbs brown miso paste
- 1 tbs each marjoram, rosemary, oregano
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 5 cups water
- (optional) splash of white wine or sake
-
- Saute the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil until the
- onion turns translucent. Add the tomatoes and saute for a
- few minutes; add the patty pan and zucchini squash, saute for
- another few minutes. Add the water and bring to a boil; add
- the miso paste and garbanzo beans, reduce heat, simmer for about
- 10 minutes. Add the lentils, potatoes, and spices, simmer for
- another 20-30 minutes until the lentils are done.
-
- For a stronger flavor, add about 2 cups of broccoli florets.
