Soups and Starters

Light Lentil Soup

There are so many varieties of lentils. Do you know when it’s best to use them?

During the summer season, I get a plethora of delicious veggies from my Community Supported Agriculture, so I try to use them in everything I can. This month I’ve been getting a ton of summer squash and zucchini. So, I sauteed them into my minestrone soup and put it to the toughest taste test I know. Here’s the results…
