Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup is a classic that needs to be in everyone’s rotation.  It’s healthy and hearty and tastes amazing! And, it’s very easy to make.  

This recipe calls for French lentils (aka Lentilles du Puy or Puy lentils).  They differ from standard green lentils in that they are smaller and darker and hold their shape very well.  That makes them the perfect type to use in a light soup where you’d rather them not turn to mush.  Nothing wrong with mush, but in this soup, we like the distinct bite of each lentil.

Because of the region that they are grown in (Puy region of central France)
