Lunch with leftovers!
I looked in my fridge last night and realized I still had a lot of vegetables that should be used sooner rather than later. So I took out some dried garbanzo beans before I went to bed, to soak them overnight. This morning, before heading upstairs to my office for work, I put the beans on the stove on low...and just let them barely simmer for a few hours, with a big handful of thyme and some crushed fresh garlic. Later, in a separate pan, I sauteed some onion, a diced red chile (1/2 of it), leeks, one carrot and about 3 stalks of celery with their tops, in a bit of olive oil. When they were a little soft I added some filtered water (could use homemade bone broth here as well.) I let this simmer as low as I could, and I went back to work for about an hour. When I got a break to eat lunch, I added a couple tbsp of white miso, some misc. herbs I had in the fridge and the beans...and heated it all through. Fresh warm soup, that has a bit of a kick & deep flavors, always hits the spot! I went back for another couple ladels-full a few hours later, for an afternoon snack. :-)
