In my almost 6 years of blogging, I have made about 3 soup recipes total and they all happen to be within the last 4 months HA!
I don’t know what I was waiting for. But now that I am on a soup making kick – there are so many ideas floating through my head that I can’t wait to share with you guys. But for this recipe, I have to think Jordan! He has been craving lentil soup and talking about it none stop. So obviously I had to go and make our own version of it to share with you guys.
And let me just say – I am still blown away by how good this turned out. Oh and how easy it is to make too. Basically all comes together in 30 minutes and you only dirty one pot to cook it. Needless to say, it is a dream.
You only need a few ingredients to make this too and I found them all in one store. Making it even easier to get the ingredients needed to make this soup!
Let us know if you guys try this recipe at home!! I can’t wait to hear what you think.
