Tonight, the last night of the Christmas vacation, was a simple affair: bread and soup.
\nI am a big fan of comfort food (as I assume everyone else is, too, given the term). On a winter night, one of the most comforting suppers is a good, hearty soup with a loaf of fresh bread. In this case, I doubled Rose Elliot’s Golden Lentil Soup recipe and halved the Kitchenaid French Bread<\/a> recipe*:

\n*if, like me, you don’t use yeast in packages, the equivalent is 4 1\/2 tsp; I used 2 1\/4 tsp for my halved recipe and it was just right. <\/em>
\nWe opened up a bottle of Rosemount Estate Diamond Label Shiraz<\/a> with tonight’s supper. The wine is great, but since I forgot the curry in the soup, it was a little over the top for plain lentil soup. It was certainly acceptable enough to keep the bottle open – but something a little less full-bodied would probably have been just right.
\nRose Elliot’s Golden Lentil Soup*<\/u><\/p>\n


\n*predoubled for your convenience – this serves our family of four with almost none left!
\n2 onions, peeled and chopped
\n1 tbsp butter
\n1 tsp curry powder (optional)
\n1 pound split red lentils
\n8 cups water
\n1 to 2 tbspns lemon juice
\nsalt & pepper
\nSaute the onion for about ten minutes, adding the curry about halfway through.
\nAdd the lentils and water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat quite a bit, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Check the soup about halfway through, and reduce the heat again if it’s sticking too much.
\nPuree the soup in a food processor with the lemon juice (you can just leave it, or beat it with a whisk, if you prefer a chunkier soup).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
