It’s cold out there! When it gets cold outside, I always find myself wanting to make something warm and filling. I crave soup and the warm feeling I get when my house smells of cooked soup and warmth.

There is something so satisfying and nurturing about cooking and serving a hot pot of soup to my family.

I enjoy making all different kinds of soups that will fill my family up and aren’t too expensive to make.

Lentils are a great source of protein. When compared to other beans, only soybeans contain more protein. When you mix lentils with a whole grain, lentils have the same amount of protein as meat but are more heart-healthy. (Source)
