    Pepe has clearly made a potato leek soup variant and thus his emotions are objectively correct

      I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.

    The problem is that you made a special stew. It’s a stew that blinds someone, but only for a day.

    I used to make traditional German lentil soup (Linseneintopf) from freeze dried soup mix. When they discontinued that product, I was really bummed. Since then I’ve learned to make my own and it’s so much better, it’s unbelievable.

        Alright, here you go. This is not very precise so use your own discretion.

        Dice two large onions. Fry in oil until lightly brown. Add 200 gr of diced bacon. Add 200 gr of diced celery root
        Add 300 gr. of diced carrots. Add 200 gr. of chopped leek Fry for a while, stirring continuously
        Add half a liter of water
        Add 2 table spoons of vegetable broth
        Add a can of brown lentils
        Simmer for about 30 minutes
        Add water as needed
        Add a few tablespoons of chopped parsley
        Add salt, pepper, pimento, paprika, and whatever else. takes your fancy.
        Add a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial).

        That should about do it. All quantities are suggestions. This is very much a make it up as you go along kind of thing.

          I’d clarify (heh) the broth- you want two tablespoons of broth concentrate or powder. I’d just say half a litre of broth, and leave it up to the cook to decide whether to use it from concentrate or from a carton.

          Add a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial).

          Well… Your soup doesn’t have any kind of acid. Not even tomatoes and if one thing need acidic balance it is lentils.

    My neighbor’s coworkers cousin once brought me a bowl of soup while I was at the beach with my family on a really windy day. By the time he handed me the bowl of soup it was nothing but a bowl of sand. I ate it anyway out of politeness but I ended up falling asleep after and woke up in ancient Egypt. I’m still stuck here and my family is still at the beach. I’m never eating a bowl of sand again.

    I’m excited, anon!

    I may or may not love the soup itself, but I love that you tried, and that you offer it as a gift.

    =D

    I have literally been in this situation with my sister. But, what do you expect making soup for dinner in the middle of summer when it’s over 100 degrees outside? Who wants soup when the weather is hot? I mean, unless it’s gespacho.

      I am one of those “psychos” that actually like hot tea in the middle of summer. Don’t ask me how, I just find it enjoyable (usually indoors, outdoors I prefer cold stuff in the summer)

    What a bold claim. I’m always exited to hear/taste/speak about soup.
