Improv'd delicious red lentil soup, with a natural sweetness with no sugar or refined carbs. 2 Tbl olive, 1 canola oil, then base of "fridge veggies, 1 med onion, 3 clove minced garlic, hansful chopped parsley, large carrots, large parsnip ( magic!)

1st

Rough chopped veggies and slowly cooked for 8 minutes until soft. I had a leftover cup of classic marinara sauce made with no sugar, threw that in with another 2 C homemade chicken stock and 3 Cups water, and one cup red lentils, brought to boil, then simmered 45 minutes. 2nd

Finally, added small sprinkle if salt, generous grind of pepper, and 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice. The lentils broke down and it was almost meaty, with a rich sweetness. The parsley gave it an herbal depth.

I ended up with 4 good meal portions, plus a "snack."
