Lentil & Chard Soup
This is a soup I can’t believe I passed on so many times growing up. I guess as a kid it’s not the most exciting but now…now it’s a whole different story. It’s so hearty and delicious I honestly crave it. I always feel so healthy and good about myself after eating some. It’s a soup I’ve now made three times in the last month. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do.
