Lentil Soup
Happy New Year! Do you all have any fabulous food traditions for the New Year? I chose to stick with my Italian roots… or root… and opted for a steaming bowl of lentil soup on this freezing first day of the new year!
The inspiration for this lentil soup comes from la mamma Italiana and my year as an exchange student in Siracusa, Sicily. The highlight of my year was definitely my amazing host family, but the incredible food was a close second. I realize lentil soup may not be what traditionally comes to mind as you think of scrumptious Sicilian cuisine, but this is the perfect Mediterranean meal to warm up your winter!
