The Lazy Lenders Lentil Soup: Save Time and Dough with This Stew
Hi there, fellow hustler! If you’re always on the lookout for ways to save money or make a little extra on the side, I’ve got something just for you. Let’s chat about making The Lazy Lenders Lentil Soup—a recipe designed to save you both time and cash, and all the while, you can even earn a bit on the side just from your kitchen. It’s like cooking and side-hustling go hand in hand. Curious? Let’s dive in!
Ingredients: Keep It Simple, Broke and Busy Friends!
- 1 cup lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: A handful of fresh spinach or kale
Instructions: Cook Up Some Comfort—and Cash
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and carrots, and sauté until the onions turn translucent. This makes everything aromatic and delicious.
- Toss in the garlic, letting its magic unfold for about 30 seconds. Stir to prevent burning.
- Add lentils, diced tomatoes (juice included), and vegetable broth to the pot, stirring everything to mingle together.
- Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer. Here’s the beauty of this recipe—it practically cooks itself for the next 30–40 minutes while you attend to other moneymaking ventures. Stir occasionally.
- Once the lentils are tender and the flavors harmonize into a symphony of deliciousness, your soup is ready to serve. If you’re feeling fancy, stir in some spinach or kale until it wilts. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you like, and enjoy not just the flavor, but the time and money you’ve saved!
