A cup of warmth
Today is a perfect day for soup. Not only is it a chilly day in the tropics, but after all of the holiday festivities, and the food that goes along with it, I have been yearning for some hearty, healthy soup! This morning I put all other plans on hold long enough to whip together this delicious batch of soup, and quickly proceeded to eat a nice big bowl of it.
Soup is one of the staples of our diet because it is delicious, easy to make, and lasts for a few days if you make a big batch. Consequently I realized that it is strange that I have not shared any soup recipes on this blog, so I am happy to finally have the chance.
If you can find them, I definitely recommend using French lentils in this soup. Often lentil soup is made with red lentils which become mushy and are better for a puree. The French lentils hold their shape and crunch and therefore add some hearty texture to the soup. You might have to look for them in a specialty food store. I recently purchased mine from Atlantic Spice Co.
