I have been looking for a good lentil soup recipe for a couple of years now, and for some reason have been afraid to make it. Well, I got the urge again this week and bit the bullet this time! Here is the recipe I used. I did follow the advice of one reviewer and added the crushed tomatoes and wine after it had simmered for a couple of hours. I then used my immersion blender to puree it a bit and it has thickened up nicely. The corn muffins made a great side for the soup. And yes, I ate all three, with honey!
Thankfully, this made a nice big pot, so I don't have to worry about what to feed my dad for lunch on Saturday. Mom is having a girls weekend, and since it's hunting season, we will be heading "up north" and I promised her I wouldn't let him starve. I might even make him some cookies too... if he makes me apple cinnamon pancakes for breakfast! I think I can persuade him.
Apparently I wasn't the only one with Lentil Soup on my mind this week... Jennifer at JCasa, a blog that I read often made a different recipe this week that looks equally delish. I'm keeping it in mind for my next attempt! Thanks Jennifer for letting me link your post here!
I am welcoming the chillier weather because I LOVE soups. I have a few others lined up for the chilly nights coming up, so check back soon!
