SO HOW'D IT GO?
Hello All,
New Vegan Here! This was the very first time I have made and tried lentil soup, this was delicious, I was pleased. Although Hubby and 1 year old were skeptical...one year old tried it and had a few bites, but Hubby would not touch it with a ten ft. pole! I am the only vegan in my house at the moment, but hubby is supportive!
Thanks so much!
I added a big carrot and a zucchini (both shredded) and two tablespoons of ground linseed. Turned out more of a stew than a soup, but yummy nonetheless! This'll be a staple for being quick, easy and delicious. ;)b
