They tasted awesome! Very brioche-like, but stayed fresh longer because of the tangzhong. Made for some excellent sandwiches.

A+ would make again, the recipe I used if you're so inclined: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/japanese-milk-bread-rolls-recipe

lentil soup whips. onion, garlic, cabbage, pepper, whatever random leftover protein you have, ideally grilled chorizo. splash of vinegar, barely cooked through lentils. maybe Lima beans simmered in there at the end, maybe a few fistfuls of greens.

dollop of yogurt, a small pile of those little Chinese breadsticks

I made lentil soup again, and crusty white bread, but somethings missing from them. I think the soup broth is a bit too thin and the bread needs a herb or something, like rosemary. Thoughts?

take 1/4 to 1/2 of the soup and throw it in a blender then put it back in the pot

this is the secret for good potato and french onion soups

also if you taste it and it just tastes bland yu need more salt. it’s almost always salt. no matter what you do for texture. it’s salt. then fat. then acid.

soup needs some fat and probably a little salt. any kind of animal fat or butter or olive oil

Do you use stock? The gelatin in animal stock helps a lot with mouthfeel. Make sure you cook the lentils enough, and give it a good go with the blender. You can add olive oil while blending to emulsify it.

Couple tablespoons of corn starch can always do the trick too. Or a roux if you feel like the effort.

to really take things to the next level: soup toppings. lentil soup is good with gremolata + extra virgin olive oil or persillade on top.

Same.

Here's skillet taters. My go to lazy dish. Parboil the taters and put the sweet taters in at the very end so that everything cooks at the same time on the skillet.

E:push taters to the side when they're done and fry the eggs in the middle. I like the eggs barely cooked.

Same principle but roasting pan instead of skillet. Egg + root veg never fails and is super lazy. Those white ones are parsnips. I can't handle paying normal grocery store price but they pop up at the produce stands for pretty cheap in season.

Here's one of many excellent approaches for doing up some lentils.

Broth, onions, tomatoes, spinach, other veggies.

For flavour: garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, gram masala, turmeric, cumin, a cinnamon stick, bay leaves.

Make it like soupe or make it like paste. I like it like paste so I can eat with roti.

Yeah I don't own a blender or food processor atm but I'm trying to limit the amount of kitchen gadgets I own. I have a potato ricer though and I bet I could use it mash up the soup pretty well for next time.

I think I'll try adding butter for next time as well.

you sound like a perfect candidate for an immersion blender. got one of those rather than some giant thing you'll never use

or consider a smoothie blender. I have a ninja that holds maybe 20oz. which works great for turning some bean soup into broth (I do it for pasta fagioli) or when a recipe calls for tomato sauce and all I have are canned tomatoes. Also works for turning a couple slices of bread into breadcrumbs for topping some baked Mac and cheese.

I was going to also suggest the immersion blender. you can just jam it in the pot and let 'er rip for a few seconds and all you have to clean is the stick part. I use mine all the time. gently caress a food processor, immersion blender is where it's at

I'm opposed to blending soups but yeah immersion blenders are cheap, compact, easy to clean and can be used to make mayonaise and various whipped desserts

Personally was interested in an immersion blender but learned that lots of people injure themselves using them and I'm a real fool so decided against it. Probably fine for most people, otherwise there are models that require simultaneous pressing of two buttons with two different hands to activate the motor. Ideally you'd also have it beep loudly for 10 seconds before actuation and would require the user to wear a safety vest to even turn on but the world is not ready for my good ideas.

immersion blender is what i use. the pro move is to transfer the portion of soup you want blended to a separate bowl, blend completely then reincorporate with the rest of the unblended soup. otherwise you end up with a bunch of partially blended chunks which no one likes.
