READ MOREEasy lentil soup, I call this lazy lentil soup
Lentil soup or any kind of variation thereof brings back vivid childhood memories for me. My nana used to make a huge pot of lentil soup, with a ham bone, that she would have sitting cooking or keeping warm for us coming to visit, or when we stayed with her, and it was, frankly one […]
