Extravagant Frugal Soup

"A knowledge of the path cannot be substituted for putting one foot in front of the other."
- M. C. Richards

I have never been taught to cook, but I have made some excellent, delicious meals. The recipe below is one of them.

The amount of most ingredients are approximate, any brand will work. This fancy because my cupboards had some great ingredients, and frugal because I'm using what's on hand. Another Aquarian throw & cook


Extravagant Frugal Soup

1 cup of Trader Joes raw walnut pieces
Handful of Trader Joes sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup Trader Joes grapeseed oil

Cook/toast walnuts and sun dried tomatoes in grapeseed oil about 5 minutes stirring ocasionally.

Then add in:

2 cans of Muir Glen Organic ground peeled tomatoes
1 13.5 fl. oz. can Chaokoh coconut milk
1 chopped bunch of Nash's fresh spinach
2 cups loosely packed chopped Rents Due Ranch French Crisp lettuce
1/2 cup roasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup Sound Sea Vegetables dulse flakes
1 Tablespoon of Tusali (basil) leaves blessed by Ammachi
1/4 Trader Joes crushed garlic

Bring to a simmer and let cook about 30 - 40 minutes.

Very good hot or cold. Very rich flavor - a small bowl is satisfyingly delicious little bites of walnut make it a fun texture. Great as pasta sauce. Nice is a crumbled gorgonzola or shredded cheddar cheese garnish.

If you are willing to play and experiment, you can make one of a kind signature dishes for yourself, friends and family.
