Weekends are great days to make big meals like soups, casseroles, pastas, and other long lasting meals. Helps you get through the week by always having something you can hear up with little effort: makes it easier to tell your depression to fuck off about ordering takeout. What have you been making comrades? Any meal prep plans for the week?

Should have posted in c/food but theres no fish and I wanted to make this pun

      Someone was just telling me about dal being a good way to eat lentils, it sounds really tasty!

        Yeah Indian food in general is great for veg stuff.

        Dal is top tier, filling and healthy if you don't load the food with excessive fats. ( If your going predominantly veg, I recommend adding more ghee/coconut than you would of you were eating meat. Fat is filling and can be good for you)

      Oh shit, my girlfriend has wanted a reason to try making kimchi for ages, knowing it can be a soup I think we have to try it now.

        Soups, stews, part of a salad, burger topping, hotdog topping, over rice, in fried rice. Kimchi is usable in so many crazy ways

              I've never been told about a limit. My mother once spent like $600 on flower so she could smuggle it to her family in kentucky lmao

      Deep south and gas stoves definitely sounds like you need to wait for soups, it was almost too hot to do this one on an electric stove in ontario. Making candies sounds absolutely awesome, I should really look into learning that. Calo de res looks fantastic! I might have tp try making one

          I might try branching out into some soups like those, usually when we want spice we just make curry but that looks super good. I keep seeing big pieces of corn on the cob in pictures of it, is that just instagram silliness or is best to eat it that way?

      Making bread on the weekend is my move too! So nice to have a bread smelling kitchen. So nice to have fresh bread for lunches. 🍞

    We had a deal on Imperfect Foods, so we are gonna make a sweet potato, apple, butternut squash soup tomorrow, and I may make apple-potato latkes for dipping.

      I really need to find a store near me that does discounts like that. That soup sounds delicious and latkes are definitely top 5 pancakes of the world

        This was a mailer. For this delivery service. With the discount it ended up being basically the same price, maybe slightly cheaper than our local grocery store. But I do not plan on continuing it.

          I hope there's something like this in Canada, sucks that the prices aren't much different but maybe farmers markets would have something similar. Getting it delivered for about the same price would be worth it to me, all the grocery delivery services near me kinda suck

    Eating some spicy "lazy" keto soup I cook once in a while but I made it tonight since my SO is under the weather. 2.5lbs of extra hot Louisiana sausage sliced and sear it a little with a whole onion and a couple of green/yellow/red bell peppers all slivered. Add chopped celery, mushrooms, and cabbage. Then I add a quart of tomato puree or diced tomato with basil if it's at the discount grocery and a quart of beef stock. Throw in a couple of beef bouillon cubes, a couple tbsps of butter, salt, pepper, and mixed italian dried herbs to taste. Just let it simmer a bit, you can add zucchini too if you want and garnish it with chopped green onion.

      That sounds excellent, spicy soups are great for times like that. Garnishing is something I really should add to a lot of dishes, but after working on a meal for a while we're usually lazy and barely wait to sit down before we eat.

      Half a pound of cheese is always a good starting point, what sort of cheese is it?

    Not exactly a soup but I've been making a ton of slow cooker chili lately. Takes like 5 minutes of prep time and is good for 4-5 meals. Reheats super well too. Only downside is that eating it for 4 meals in a row kinda gives you the meat sweats

      Try J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's vegetarian chili:

      https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/01/best-vegetarian-bean-chile-recipe.html

      The marmite does a great job of replicating the umami taste of meat.

      Chilis are awesome, I might make one after we finish this soup off, what sorts of veggies and spices are in yours?

      Fancier than campbells and quicker than driving to Germany, sounds like a win-win

      That sounds really delicious, I've had squash soups but never actually just used pumpkin. Kicking up the heat of it seems like it would really be good

        It turned out reallllly well - I started adding chipotles to my splitpea soup years ago as a vegan smokey-salty replacement for ham hocks and have never looked back! first time making it with pumpkin and this recipe is def a keeper
