"Matthias Stomer (Umkreis) Das Linsengericht" by Circle of Matthias Stom (fl. 1615–1649) - Licensed under Public domain via Wikimedia Commons Today, we're going way back to the book of Genesis to make a soup as old as time. This potage of lentils will nourish your body and leave a bitter taste in your mouth. The inspiration for the dish is the story of twin brothers Jacob and Esau, whose sibling rivalry lasted nearly their whole lives.
Fitzgerald, shouldn't you have splashed some of the soup on or over the rim of the bowl, you know, to make more of a mess?
If you don't sort and pick your lentils, you can get small rocks or woody debris in your soup. Good for your gizzard.
You eat with your eyes first, and I wouldn't want to degrade the integrity of the pics, not for a mess of pottage.
That's how you know it's working!
If I like curry with my lentils, does that make me a commie?
Ladle the hot soup into a pint glass, about 2/3 - 3/4 full; execute a depth charge with a shot of gin.
You are welcome.
My go-to lentil soup is made with curry (and regular old brown lentils), but this one, they say, is what Jacob cooked for Esau.
You are a sick fuck. I like that.
I'd put a dollop of plain yogurt in each bowl.
