My wife found an amazing recipe for a lentil soup a while back. She was working late today, so I cooked the soup while she drove home.

It’s pretty simple. Onions, garlic, peppers (I used a bell pepper) in oil. Add lentils, broth, chickpeas, and canned tomatoes. Season and simmer for 20 minutes.

It’s SO FLAVORFUL!

Usually with soups, there’s a mix of spices – and frequently, when I taste it, I say “Hmm, still needs something.”

This one gets a mere sprinkle of salt and pepper, and it’s great.

Apologies for the lack of photo; I didn’t think to take one while cooking. FauxPseudo’s post today made me think about sharing just now.

    It’s crazy how red lentils with salt and pepper are so delicious, but then there’s a whole universe of other flavours you can add on too
