chicken & (fake) dumplings &
blackbean soup &
minestrone (don't have a good recipe, i eat it from the chunky soup cans )

it depends on my mood really.

my chicken and fake dumplings is basically a chicken soup (finely shredded carrots because i hate big chunks of carrots in my soup) and instead of doing dumplings i get a package of tortillas, cut them into little strips (1x2inch) and then put them all in a bag and coat them with flour. shake it up, and then dump them all into the soup. It makes the most delicious dumplings.

blackbean soup
1 onion (diced)
4 stalks celery (diced)
2Tbsp oil
4 cans blackbeans
1/2 bunch cilantro
3 lemons

cook onion and celery until the onion is transluscent, add blackbeans and half of your cilantro. Cook until warm, then blend half of the recipe (i usually stick an emersion blender in for a couple seconds, but the recipe says to take out half and put it n the blender) Mix it all back together, add the juice of 2 lemons

and you're done

garnish with lemon slices and cilantro.

Excellent with rice, devine with corn tortillas.
