I dont have time to prepare anything as of late and I’ve just been surviving of curry and pasta from the local supermarket and I’m not eating enough either

What are some good recipes that are easy to prepare when not having time? I dont mind them being repetitive or whatever, lots in quantity would help so its for multiple days. Vegan is fine, I want to become Vegan long term, maybe Vegetarian at first, but I must begin eating enough atm

I’m a beginner at cooking FYI so I can’t do anything complex. It can be a “college meal”, I just dont want to go hungry anymore cause I’m too tired to do anything lol and I dont want supermarket frozen bs

    Shorbat Adas (Lentil Soup) It’s a levantine dish.

    Ingredients: Half an onion 1 or two potatoes (can be fine without) 1 carrot 2 cups red lentils (can be less, this amount fed me and my partner for like 4 days lol)

    Dice the onion, loosely chop the carrots and potatoes

    Fry the onions in olive oil until golden, then add the potatoes and carrots.

    Wash your lentils (dont be nasty!) then drop them into the pot. Immediately pour water into the pot until there’s about 2 inches of water above the lentils.

    Add curry powder, cumin, all-spice to taste. Sorry I can’t give an exact measurement I just throw stuff in there and add more later if it’s too bland. I go heavy on the cumin since I love that shit.

    Salt and pepper to taste (I go a little heavy on the pepper too!)

    Wait for the water to boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer until the carrots and potatoes are mushy and the lentils are breaking down. (Takes roughly 30 minutes).

    Let it cool down a bit, get an immersion blender, blend it all until it’s smooth and there aren’t any chunks, taste it and add more spices as you see fit, and serve!
