This recipe is a variation of traditional vegetable soup. I discovered this soup one night when I was feeling under the weather and wanted nothing but soup in my system (in addition to a little o.j. of course). As it first starts cooking the soup smells almost exactly like crab-boil--without the crabs!!
Olive oil
1 Russet potato, cubed
2 Slices onion, medium dice
1 Stalk celery, small dice
1 Stalk Swiss chard, chopped
3 Cloves garlic
A lot of cayenne pepper
2 Bay leaves
4 Tbs. Parsley
Salt & Pepper
2 Fistfuls each of pink and yellow lentils
Put all of the ingredients except the lentils into a pot over medium heat. Mix to coat with oil then add enough water to thoroughly cover (you may need to add more as the soup cooks). Add lentils. Boil for 15 minutes and then reduce heat & simmer until ready to eat. Drizzle with a nice, flavorful olive oil once spooned into a bowl. This soup is quite tasty!
*Next time I'm thinking of making a roux first! Yum--It'd be like lentil etouffe! (That's a joke, dear Cajuns)

Insatiable Gourmande, We love your recipes ever so much. When will you post a new one? Are you teasing us, or simply slaving away in your test kitchen?
I have been known to be a tease, however it is not my intention to keep my admiring fans from the requisite recipes they deserve. So I'll get cooking! (I'm having linguine with clam sauce tonight so maybe I'll post that for you)
