For the Spanish rice soup. Just wondering when you add the oil? I didn’t see it in the video but I see it on the ingredient list 🙂
Soup isn’t a meal. It’s a side dish or appetizer. Lol
A can of petite diced tomatoes instead of tomato paste for the lentil soup. So good!
Thank you! You’re right: most other “pantry meal” videos sneak in fridge or freezer ingredients. NOT what I’m looking for! (I’m going for emergency preparedness meal ideas, here.) If you have more ideas to share, I would love to see them.
