Yes, please.
I have been in Europe for a bit of work - and slotted in a little extra time for relaxing.
And one of the spots we landed for a few days was Capri, Italy.
We rented a historic villa that overlooked the sea- and had the dreamiest outdoor veranda area where we enjoyed breakfast and dinner everyday- and one of the days there my husband made his famous harvest lentil soup and sandwiches for dinner.
I will share much more of the villa and our stay there soon- but today it is all about all of these delicious soups my friends are sharing- thanks to Kristen from Ella Claire Inspired for hosting!
Lentil soup is a favorite in our house- especially when it is chock full of garlic and chunky vegetables. Served with a warm bit of bread - it is a hearty meal that is perfect for those chilly autumn and winter days.
Vegetarian Harvest Lentil Soup
1 16 oz. bag of lentils
1 whole garlic head -chopped
1 large onion -chopped
1 baby zucchini -sliced
1 c baby carrots -sliced
2 c fresh baby spinach
2 c small potatoes- chunked
16 oz. vegetable stock (optional)
1/2 fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon sea salt (to taste)
2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
Grated parmesan to sprinkle on top
Mini sourdough bread bowls for serving (if you would like)
After prepping all your veggies- combine everything in a large soup pot.
Add water until water is just about 1 inch above the ingredients and bring to a simmer.
Simmer for about 45 min stirring occasionally.
You can adjust the cook time depending on the desired firmness of the lentils- if you like them a little more firm- cook a little less time.
Or a little more mushy- cook a little longer.
Cool for 5 to 10 min while you prep your bread bowls.
Fill your bread bowls and sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan and enjoy!

Perfect place for that yummy soup!
ReplyDeletethat archway looks exactly like the one in a friend's summer home in Provence surrounded by vineyards. It was sold after the death of the husband.
