Meatless Monday ~ Rosanna's Lentil Soup



I found the recipe for Rosanna's Lentil Soup on iVillage and tried it out tonight for Meatless Monday.

Rosanna is Rosanna Bowles of Coming Home, A Seasonal Guide to Creating Family Traditions, a book I keep hoping my library will order. She also has a lovely blog.

My proportions for this soup were a little off since I didn't have a full pound of lentils on hand and I only had a handful of baby carrots left in the fridge. In my humble opinion, I'll probably add more carrots than the recipe calls for next time because I like the complimentary flavor. I also added some berbere spice for a little kick.

The kids loved the soup because lentils are a very popular dish in Ethiopia and the berbere makes everything taste like home to them. {Comfort food!}
