This next recipe is much simpler with flavors that are not quite as
complex but still tasty. It's from the Hyde Park Grill in Austin.
What a yummy way to eat well on a chilly November night.

Lentil Soup

1 lb dried lentils, ~2 1/2 cups
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1 med onion, chopped
2 carrots,slice thinly
2 cloves garlic, minced
16 oz can diced tomatoes
2 tsp cayenne
3 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp salt
8 c water

Put all ingredients in lg pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover.
Simmer gently ~45 min, until lentils are tender. Stir occasionally, if
it looks too thick, add water.

I usually serve this to my family with a dollop of yogurt and
cornbread.

(Thanks again S.A. for the great ideas!)

Enjoy!
