crucible of ennui

I’ve said it before, but the Armenian deli in my office building makes the absolutely best Red Lentil Soup. Today since it’s raining and cold, I decided to treat myself and get lunch upstairs. Each bite, I sit and try to separate out flavors in hopes of recreating the soup at home. It’s just too perfect… flavor, texture, everything.

I bought some lentils at the store this week. They’re not red, kinda greenish. I’m thinking of starting with chicken broth, spices and some roasted red peppers. Make finish it off with a little heavy cream.

I’m hoping for something wonderful. But since I’m improvising, it may be disasterous.
