I come home to an empty fridge. Not totally the boy's fault. I told him to not buy too much if he thought he wasn't going to eat it. And he did go to Costco as instructed with a strict list and buy from the list (which he did)
So what did I end up making the first night back?
Lentil soup! This is what you can do with a well stocked pantry.
There was a sad bunch of celery sitting in the veggie crisper. Nothing else green or fresh.
1. So I tossed the last stalks of celery with a half of onion diced to brown on the stove.
2. Add no soak lentils (all of them are non-soak, but that's why they're fast to cook)
3. 2 boxes of kirkland chicken broth
4. 1 can of tomato sauce (diced tomatoes would be better, but I didn't have any)
5. season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, tumeric
6. dinner ready in 45 minutes!
I would have added ground turkey in the mix (the boy did restock the meats in the freezer) but it was defrosting. So I cooked some turkey spaghetti sauce for him (I doubt he'll eat the soup)
