I cannot wait for Fall. Yes, I know, it is officially Fall – everywhere but here. Florida is still hot and humid and rainy. I keep seeing pictures of pumpkins, apple picking, Autumn decorations and changing leaves and I am longing for the cooler weather.
Even though it is still warm outside, I wanted to make an easy soup to get me in the mood for Fall. I received a package of Red Lentils and Orca Beans from Bob’s Red Mill, and decided to use the lentils. The Orca Beans will turn into a great chili once the cold weather gets here!
This soup couldn’t be easier. It starts with the traditional carrots, celery and onions, followed by lentils and stock. I used chicken stock, because it’s what I had in my pantry. You can easily substitute vegetable stock to make it vegetarian. I topped it with a dollop of Stonyfield Greek Yogurt. I loved the cool, creamy tang of the yogurt with the warm, hearty soup – definitely going to keep this in my cold-weather recipe repertoire.
