I had planned to post a silly craft project today but my printer wasn't cooperating. I needed the print to complete the craft. So in replace of a craft project, I decided to share one of my new favorite recipes, French Lentil Soup. I think I've made this soup every other week (that's high rotation in this house). What I like about this soup is it's hearty, healthy, and easy to make. Hope you like it too.French Lentil Soup
