easy enough for us to make
and we'll

(also uh
vegetarian plz
or like
optionally not vegetarian
imo)

wtf r u in philly already ???

no we're just
plannin

goddamn you're going to philly?

you have to let me know when you're there

ok hang on

is seafood meat?

got a v good soup recipe

but it involves seafood

uh, maybe I can make a veggie version, too

ok, option one (cheap)

small package extra firm tofu
2/3 cup couscous (I like the big Israeli stuff, but follow your conscience here)
3 tablespoons capers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
juice from one lemon
2 cups of green leafy something (romaine is good, so is spinach)
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

cut tofu into little 1/2"x1/4" strips (they can be irregular)
fry those bitches in sesame oil until they are a little crisp
don't burn yourself, they might splatter
set them aside to drain on a paper-towel lined plate
cook up some couscous, about2 parts water to one part couscous, rinse in cold water and allow to cool
mix together chopped basil, capers, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, and tofu
fluff couscous with a fork, add in the tofu mess and the greens and feta
eat

option two (seafood oriented):

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 leeks washed and chopped to ~3/8" chunks
1 fennel bulb chopped to ~3/8" chunks
1 pound potatoes chopped to 1/2" chunks
2 tbsp all purpose flour
8oz bottle clam juice
3 cups whole milk
3/4 pound cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp
10 oz frozen corn
2 tbsp chopped flatleaf parsley
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
kosher salt and pepper

chop all those veggies, make sure you wash the sand out of the leeks or this soup will suck
heat butter in a large saucepan or stock pot over medium heat
sweat the leeks and fennel w/ 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper
when they are looking translucent, add the flour and stir
add clam juice, milk, and potatoes
bring to a boil
reduce heat and stir occasionally for 12 minutes
stir in shrimp and corn
cook until potatoes are tender and shrimp are cooked through
stir in parsley and lemon juice
eat and post to tell me how great this is
(it is so great)

^you could leave out the shrimp and clam juice, and add 1/4 veggie stock to make a pretty ok potato leek soup, but let's honest: that is some weak shit right there

slice some scallions thinly and crisp + crumblesome bacon to garnish the shrimp chowder if you want to sexy it up

it gets pretty sexy that way fyi

thank you, lcrm O:

bing lcrm
how many servings are those meals ?

sorry, saw this late

option 1: 4-6?
option 2: about 6, but I dare you not to eat 2 servings minimum

a serving = a bowl imo
