yesterday i was still feeling kind of blah, and i wanted soup. the kind of soup that can be made without having to drive to the supermarket, that i could make out of the pantry.
i ended up with tomato-rice soup with roasted garlic and navy beans from veganomicon.
and, lucky you, i also happened to find one person who posted the recipe online - you can (click here) to get to it.
to begin with, i should probably point out that i made some alterations, based on the whole 'no supermarket' thing. the first being that i didn't have two bulbs of garlic to roast. so, i went with the alternative directions of taking around 6 cloves...
and throwing them in a soup pot with the finely diced onion.
after it cooked a bit, i threw in the rice...
and the rest of the spices and stirred things around for a couple minutes.
next came the tomatoes. a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes went in the pot...
as well as a 15oz can of crushed tomatoes and a few chopped fresh tomatoes lurking in the fridge. altogether, this is almost what the recipe called for.
and i don't care if this is now going to be called 'chunky' tomato-rice soup.
in fact, because i'm so crazy, i decided to add one of my organic veggie broth starburst creatures to the mix after i added all the water and it came to a boil. after this, i turned it down and it simmered for 45 minutes.
and then i added the beans and let them warm up:
and then i ate it. i should probably mention that, while all this was cooking, i did walk 1 block down the road to the panera to get a baguette to eat with this. this has happened pretty much every time i've cooked something that a baguette might go with - i've just never mentioned it or taken a picture. and, keeping with tradition, i forgot to take a picture last night. oh well - we'll have to make due with this:
