My daughter searched for good luck traditions and came across some fun ones so we followed them. Some new year traditions included: no laundry, no arguing, eat lentil and pork soup and avoid chicken and fish (they "swim or run" away). So we did just that.
Here is the Lucky Soup Lexi made from scratch:
3 onions
3 carrots
1/2 tomato
salt
pepper
paprika
onion/garlic powder
2 cups lentils
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 pounds of pork cut in cubes
6 cups of beef stock
Cook over medium heat for 2 hours - you will know when it is ready as it smells amazing. We added avocado to the top with a touch of Siracha.
Happy New Year!
