José Andrés Hamilton-inspired Lentil Soup
As if super chef José Andrés and his World Central Kitchen didn't have enough to do feeding folks in need (including at Miami's Red Rooster Overtown), he takes the time to show us how to make his mom's lentil soup for #recipesforthepeople: Goya lentils, onion, carrot, leek, some pimentón – and advice for alternate spices – accompanied by "Alexander Hamilton." Accompanied by his daughters, Andrés showcases easy-to-make pantry dishes in the time it takes to sing along with a song.
