And here's mine!
Red Lentil Soup
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. coarse salt (more to taste)
¼ tsp. pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper (a little goes a long way)
1 quart vegetable broth (or 4 bouillon cubes instead)
1 c. lentils (preferably red)
1 lg. carrot, diced
1 can diced tomatoes (optional)
Juice of ½ lemon
1 c. chopped spinach (optional)
3 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
Heat oil. Saute onion and garlic until transparent.
Stir in tomato paste, cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne, and sauté 2 minutes.
Add broth and lentils
Dice and add carrot. Bring close to a boil, cover, and simmer 60 minutes or
until soft. Red lentils are way faster than normal lentils. Add additional
salt and liquid if desired.
Add tomato if desired (1 can diced)
Sir in lemon juice, spinach, and cilantro. Serve.

This is quick & easy if you have cans of chickpeas. The only kind-of
unusual ingredient is the harissa which is a super delicious North African
/ Middle Eastern chile paste. You can find it in a jar or in a tube
sometimes (like toothpaste).
3 Tbsp olive oil
a diced yellow onion
a large diced carrot
6 thin sliced garlic cloves
1 Tbsp ground cumin and/or smoked paprika
1 to 2 Tbsp harissa
2 (14-ounce) cans chickpeas
2 tablespoons lemon juice (not essential but nice!)
Heat the olive oil, add the onion, carrot and a pinch of salt. Sautee
until tender (about 8 min.) Stir in the garlic, cumin/paprika and cook
about 1 minute. Stir in the harissa and cook for 1 minute more
Add the canned chickpeas and their liquid. Fill one can with water and
add that to the pot as well. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, stir
once in awhile, for about 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste it and adjust (add
water if too thick, more harissa if not spicy enough, salt if not salty
enough.)
Things you can sprinkle on top if you want, but you don't need to:
More lemon juice, celery, celery leaves, herbs (cilantro, parsley, mint),
bread crumbs, soft-boiled egg

ps the winner soup for me this past week has been this easy spinach one
(vegan version totally works; I haven't tried to make it gf but I'm sure
it's possible):
Make a little roux:
- melt 2 tbsp *butter* or margarine in the bottom of a soup pan,
stir in a tbsp of *flour* so it sizzles but doesn't burn
- add about 3/4 cup of *milk* or water, a little bit at a time, and
stirring as it thickens
then:
- add 1 veggie *bullion* cube
- add in a bunch of *spinach* (a lb? or one of those small tubs, or
half of a big tub)
- stir until the spinach is all wilted/cooked
- blend it in a blender or with an immersion blender till smooth
and:
- top with a sliced boiled *egg* if you wish...
