Vegetarian Food

[Rosie]

Hey everyone. I've been trying to find some super yummy vegetarian recipes and I was wondering if any of you had one to share.

Here's one I really like AND my meat eater hubby also enjoys. It's so easy to make, I've done it with a baby in one arm.

1 red bell pepper chopped (it doesn't have to be chopped perfect because you are going to blend it later)
3-4 large carrots chopped
1 med onion
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 tablespoon ginger
7 cups veg stock (or chicken stock if you aren't totally strict on being vegetarian - I use chicken stock)
1 cup RED lentils (MUST be red or it won't turn out very well)
splash of olive oil
salt and pepper

In a large pot, heat olive oil, chopped red pepper, carrots, chopped onion, chopped garlic, ginger, salt and pepper for 5 minutes on med heat.

Add stock and lentils and bring to a boil. Then cook for 25 minutes until carrots are tender.

Blend soup in a blender until smooth and ENJOY!

Re: Vegetarian Food

I started a blog and every Friday I post a new recipe. So far every recipe has been vegetarian (I do eat meat, but I guess it's just a fluke that every recipe has been vegetarian so far). This is my first time blogging and I'm still learning. I'll be posting more soon.
