I've really been enjoying cooking up some soups now that the weather is cooler. This weekend I made a "clean out the fridge" soup, and it turned out really great. Just threw in whatever veggies I had (carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, onions, garlic), some beans, brown rice, a little bit of pasta, some kale from the garden, carrot juice, and our favorite veggie broth. It was so yummy! Very filling, and a nice way to use up the little bits of this and that which needed to be eaten.
Here's a list of what I have planned to make for this week. Several of these are new recipes to me, so I'm really looking forward to trying them out.
African Pineapple Peanut Stew - I have wanted to make this for the longest time, so I'm finally going to give it a try!
Refried Beans (for the freezer) - I thought these sounded so interesting, especially curious about the addition of coffee.
Ethiopian Lentil Bowl - a favorite of mine.
Pink Bean, Quinoa, and Spinach Soup
Confetti Kale - recipe from Simply in Season
Pasta with Chickpeas - I have lots of cooked chickpeas in the freezer, most of which I'll use for hummus, but some will make it into this dish, which our family really enjoys.
