I don't know how to cook

but I'm okay at adding.

I made a big pot of vegetable beef soup yesterday. Started out with a
couple of cups of water and a beef bouillon cube, bayleaf, thyme, and
black pepper. Then added a 1/3 cup of dried lentils and a bunch of
carrots, onions, and celery, and cooked until the lentils were done. I
added frozen corn, frozen green beans, and some diced fresh tomatoes,
then some leftover beef au jus and potatoes that Wife cooked in the
crockpot last week, and a little ground marjoram. Simmered everything
for an hour, until it was good and dead.

I just recently discovered adding lentils to soup for a thickener. I
should have added a little sliced okra too because it was still a kind
of thin, and okra adds a *lot* of body. This made a lot more than I
expected (that always happens with vegetable soup) so I'll be having
this for lunches for a while.

I'm veggie, but sounds interesting... I almost went with lentil.
(lentils make me gassy next day)
