Every New Year’s Eve my mother would make a pot of lentil soup for dinner. As kids we didn’t care too much for it because of what we thought it looked like (we nicknamed it “Lentil Poop”). Little did we know the nutrition that is packed into those tiny lentils. I was at my brother Jeff’s house in 2014 and ate some of the finest lentil soup I’ve ever tasted. This is adapted from Nigel Obrian’s lentil soup recipe. The first time we made it for our family, our kids licked their plates clean. If you do not own a pressure cooker, get one here. A Pressure cooker is a fabulous addition to your kitchen. When you learn how to use it properly, you will wonder how you ever survived without one.
