Of all the things I love to make, there has been one item that I have been terrified to attempt. Soup. For some reason I have felt too overwhelmed with the thought of making homemade soup. It sounded like a lot of ingredients, a lot of time, a lot of work and who knows how good it would end up being. For 35 years I have stayed away.
With Fall slowly arriving and the idea of warm comfort food sounding amazing, I finally told myself that this fear was ridiculous and I had to give it a try. I really wanted homemade soup! It can't be that hard can it? I found this Lentil Sausage Soup recipe and it seemed easy enough. From the minimal list of ingredients I figured this one would be hard to screw up so I gave it a shot.
Success!
I am not sure why I was so concerned with how hard soup would be because it was SO MUCH easier than I expected. Silly me. And how easy to make a soup while the kids are in school so that dinner is taken care of later on in the day when it is crazy.
What I loved about this soup is that it was packed with nutrients, protein and was filling enough to serve simply with French bread on the side. I will definitely be making this again, along with some other soup recipes I have stayed away from forever. No more soup fear here!
