Last week, I went out to lunch with my friend Jamie and she ordered a bowl of lentil soup. Well, it got my taste buds worked up and this was born out of my need for more than the one spoonful I swiped from her!

I am getting in the habit of making a big pot of soup at the beginning of my work week and I gotta say, it has made life a lot easier. It’s a no-brainer for a portable dinner and I love that soups always get better with a little age. As my dad always says after a big Italian meal “This will be even better for lunch tomorrow!”
But the best thing is, soup is so stinkin’ easy. It’s not the kind of thing where you are slaving at the stove for four hours. You just throw it in, cover and let it work its magic. This makes a monster potful, so if you’re not planning on eating it all week like I am, halve for a more manageable dinner and lunch for two.
