Lentil Soup

May 6th, 2009 at 03:37 am

I've mentioned before my family is a huge Alton Brown fan. (The kids totally LOVE his show, Good Eats).

The cool thing about Alton Brown is also that he would appeal to any frugalite (he makes beef jerky with fans and air filters - teehee - and does not recommend a lot of kitchen items that can't be multi-purposed).

That being said, he uses a lot of kitchen utensils we don't own (he is a professional)! So I am surprised it has taken this long, but dh just bought a stick blender.

Of course, the recipe that sold him was this one:

It's simmering on the stove right now. I'll tell you what we think later.

The piles of 5 star reviews look promising though.

ETA: YUM!

    I love Alton Brown! By far the most entertaining show on the Food Network, with that Food Science lab show second.

    Couldn't live without the food processor - got a cheapie as a gift ages ago though. (I am not a chunky veggie fan but will eat anything chopped to bits!)

    BA - do you mean Food Detectives? Our other favorite as well...

    Of course the Food Challenges are usually pretty intereting, and my personal fave lately is Ace of Cakes.

    Yum... lentil soup leads me to think of rainy evenings when I was a kid, when my mom would make homemade lentil and onion soup, fresh bread, and cheddar cheese. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Oh, and I think that there is a lot that can be done with basic kitchen utensils... it's just a little harder sometimes. If you have the basics and some degree of determination, then you have some insurance that you can make a reasonable facsimile of most dishes. Just my opinion. Enjoy the lentils!
