[recipe] Harvest Soup

[Guest guest]

The natural foods/bulk store where I shop sells alot of bulk Amish-

produced goods, and one of them is called " Harvest Soup " . This

doesn't sound like much, but it is REALLY DELICIOUS. Here is what is

in the mix (no, I don't have a recipe, but I can tell by looking at

the bag):

 

1/4 cup dried yellow peas

1/4 cup dried green peas

1/4 cup brown lentils

1/4 cup red lentils

1/4 cup wild rice

1/4 cup brown rice

 

That should make about a pound, which is the size bag I get. To make

the soup, add about 8 cups water (I like to use part un-chicken broth)

and simmer for 1 hour. Then add:

 

2 cups shredded cabbage

2 cups diced carrots

1 large can diced or crushed tomatoes

1 med. onion, diced

(optional) about 1/2 lb soy beef crumbles (I add these when it's

almost done)

1-2 bay leaves

 

Simmer for an additional hour.

 

This makes quite a large pot of soup. Very hearty and warming on

these cold winter days.
