Lentil Soup

If you haven't noticed it's been a while since we've updated our blog. Our whole family caught a cold. In case you don't know... when you have kids, if somebody gets sick, the whole family is going to catch it. There's just no way around it, especially when people don't know how to cover their mouths when they cough.




Seeing as though none of us has had much of an appetite lately, it's been tough to want to drag ourselves out of bed to fix dinner. Mikie thought some good hearty soup might by just the prescription we all needed to get us back up on our feet.





This Lentil soup recipe is really easy to make and is a sure-fire home remedy in the same league as chicken soup. This doesn't take long to prepare and won't keep you out of bed for hours cooking. It's a great vegetarian recipe (aside from the chicken broth) to prepare when you're sick and want to fix something that will warm your insides quickly.
