Recipe - Delcious Lentil Soup
This is a delicious Lentil Soup that is chock full of vegetables and made with beef bone broth instead of chicken stock. It is based loosely on this recipe found on All Recipes.com https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13978/lentil-soup/, but I think mine has much more flavor.
