last night, i made the lively up yourself lentil soup from 101 cookbooks. often times i’ll start cooking and then josh, our resident chef will come in and take over because i get annoyed or just throw in the towel, since he’s such an amazing cook, i let him take over to ensure that i don’t screw things up. i made this soup all on my lonesome. josh worked late last night and didn’t get home in time to take over or save me from my frustration. there was none really. this soup is easy peasy. i altered the recipe slightly. i used homemade chicken broth (made by josh, our freezer is well stocked with this stuff but that’s a whole other food post) instead of water and i didn’t add a poached egg since i haven’t figured out how to do that so well yet. this soup is so good people and you have to splurge on some saffron to make the saffron yogurt, it’s so worth it.
p.s. beet soup & black bean soup

That soup looks so mouth-wateringly divine! Will definitely try it in winter
This looks delicious! And, yes! Chicken broth adds so much more flavor. Nifty addition.
I consider myself a decent cooked and I always screw up a poached egg, without fail. Thanks for sharing the recipes – I’m a fan of nice, hearty soups during the Winter months.
aw that looks so warm and cozy right now!
Looks yummy..I tried making lentil last year and actually liked the ways things turned out
My husband’s the chef in our house too. I feel your pain about getting fed up and just turning it over to more confident hands! I do have a few specialties that only I make, and it sounds like this will be one of yours.
This looks so delicious! Beautiful photo, too.

Oh my, this looks delicious! I eat Amy’s lentil soup once a week, I think I would love homemade soup even more!
Yeah I have been dying to try saffron! I often skip it in the recipe because it was $28 at the local store. I may have to break down and buy it.
Monique, I love lentil soup. I just recently had it when my mother-in-law made it on a cold cold day. so good. I love cooking soups!
i haven’t made soup in too long, considering it’s winter and all! I tried lentil soup for the first time the other week and now I’d love to make some – i adore saffron too!
