super simple soup

It’s almost Fogust (foggy August) here in San Francisco which means that while most residents of the northern hemisphere are enjoying sunglasses and iced tea, San Franciscans are wrapped in blankets and drinking hot tea.

On that note, I wanted to share my favorite lentil soup recipe which requires few ingredients and little preparation time. It is the perfect treat for a cold and foggy afternoon!
