you don’t have to add everything i have listed here obviously, do whatever you want. it’s soup. follow your heart


instructions:

  1. add lentils and water to a pot. bring to a boil, then turn down the flame to medium and set a timer for 15 minutes. prepare the vegetables in the meantime.
  2. after the 15 minutes, add chopped carrots, potatoes, celery, and squash. cook for 5 minutes.
  3. add chopped onion, mushrooms, and lettuce. cook for 5 minutes.
  4. turn off the flame. add cilantro, tomato sauce, and canned corn. season with chicken bouillon and add lemon juice to taste. stir well.

enjoy :)


wrt cooking time

ofc cooking times will vary depending on the pot you’re using, how much soup you’re making, the brand of lentils etc.

generally you just take the total cooking time for the beans and subtract 10 minutes for when to add the vegetables — so in the instructions it’s 25 minutes total (15 + 5 + 5), but if you needed to cook the lentils for say 30 minutes, then you’d set that initial timer for 20 minutes. ok??


++ a word of advice for my fellow depressed bitches

dishes suck and they’re 80% of the reason i don’t eat sometimes so here’s my advice.

basically just try to reuse dishes as much as possible (while still being hygienic ofc)

bc yeah there’ve been times where i wouldn’t eat anything (genuinely anything) bc the thought of having to wash all these dishes afterward felt like too much effort, but i found that using these (admittedly minor) ways of trying to reduce that workload helped. somaybe it’ll help someone else. sorry if you’re going through that though it really does suck
