Pirate’s soup


In the effort to have my young kids (3 and 6) eat healthy I invented the story of the Pirate’s soup.

As the story goes, pirates hide in some areas nearby and when they sleep I sometimes approach their lair and take some golden nuggets or doubloons they have in their treasure chest to bring them home and cook with them.

The recipe has a base of shallot/onion finely chopped and stir fried in olive oil, then red lentils are added as well as millet (the golden nuggets)
Once they are all in the pot I add broth and tomato sauce and let it simmer until cooked (roughly 20 min)
