A salad and warm crusty bread is all you need to go with this wonderful soup. Not only is this quick and easy to make, it's good for you too. And it freezes well as I always make more then we can eat.

Hard to cook
by Jinn 7 months ago
but worth a try! I followed the suggestion to reduce the amount of butter, probably down . Might reduce even further next time as at room temperature they got kind of soft and melty. Still super delicious, just softer than I wanted. A little chill in the fridge and they were good to go again. Also dipped half of each piece in chocolate and topped with more salt. I think had I dipped the whole thing in chocolate the coating would have kept the really soft caramels from getting so melty. Best of both worlds, soft, chewy caramels and chocolate coating. I think that would be a winner.

I happened to have both red lentils and kale on hand. Good flavor and texture, though I used common couscous, adding them after the rest of the stew was done and taken off the heat. Or you could substitute canned chick peas.
