“Pot Luck” comfort get well soon lentil soup for friends…an easy delicious pot of French lentil soup was the soup of the week and you can find a link to a basic recipe from Nigella below, of course I went beyond the recipe with additional ingredients. I added a hearty stock instead of water, a few more herbs, spices, celery, and garlic to make more of a soup than a side dish. I chose to add cubed ham towards the end of the cooking time, but a smoked sausage addition would also be a good choice or toss in a small smoked ham hock for a bit of a smoky flavor.
Serve with a great French salad, warm French rolls or bread, and a nice bottle of medium bodied Beaujolais or Syrah wine.
