Lentil Soup
If you can boil water, you can make this soup. I know some of you can’t boil water (yes I have heard this over the years), but you can try.
This GetNaked Lentil Soup is back on rotation during the colder months and it’s the easiest recipe everrrrr….if you even want to call it a recipe. You throw 3 key ingredients (lentils, broth and mirepoix) in a pot and add a few other optional spices and you have a meal or side dish for days. Some people write about how to have lashes for days, but I am more concerned with lentil soup. I do like some good lashes too though.
Who doesn’t like a dollop?
