Super frugal dinner

Tonight I made my dinner in the manner of Amy Dacyczyn's "refrigerator soup." The ingredients were:

appx. 1 c lentils, previously cooked and frozen

4 c chicken stock, made from a rotisserie chicken

appx. 2 c roasted root vegetables (onions, garlic, carrots, parsnips), leftover from Sunday

a handful of frozen okra from a bag I'm trying to use up (I found I disliked okra, so now I toss it in soups that cry out for something "green"--that way I don't really have to taste it!)

salt, pepper, cumin

And, to top it with, some leftover goat cheese--an idea I borrowed from English Major's Money.

The end result, while nothing I'd order repeatedly at a restaurant, was still pretty good! The broth was the best part--rich, earthy and brown.
