Looks good and I don't even like lentils. Any meat in there?

Yes. I don't put a lot of meat in lentil soup but I pressure cooked the meat and use the water too.

I am sure it's quite tasty, then.

I need to think of something to make with brown chickpeas.
They are soaked and are boiling now.
The idea was hummous to fit with bread.
But I've finished the bread already
Maybe I need to bake bread again ..

Yes you should make bread! But chickpeas make good salad topping too.

It could become curry....
Or just freezer stock

You could bake them whilst making bread and have crispy chickpeas with a chilli coating

Actually that's a recipe using oil... roasted chili chickpeas

Had no intention of cooking today to the extent I dug out two emergency tins of M&S curry (I keep them in for late flight returns or delays) for then the first born to say they’d cancelled rugby and he would be here for lunch after all.

So two tins of dubious curry turned into at least to 2-3 litres of curried chicken soup topped with crispy shallots and some mini bhajis I found hiding in the freezer.

Went down well, except with me who wasn’t planning to cook

Lunch with my mom at a more traditional Dutch restaurant here in town

Lunch special: mustard cream soup, beef croquette, and tuna salad on bread.

And I made Cheesecake with raspberry coulis to have at home after lunch

Left over's, with added chickpeas to bulk it out/up...
