 When I was very young; young enough to watch Captain Kangaroo, I loved when the Captain would read books aloud, and Stone Soup was one of my favorites. There are numerous versions of the story. The one I recall from my childhood featured three soldiers, cold and hungry and coming to a small town with […]  Thanksgiving is over, and now it’s time to refuel for the next round of holidays. From a food perspective, Christmas has a broad range of food that people consider traditional. For years I spent Christmas with friends who always had a roasted strip loin with Yorkshire puddings. Some people eat ham, others more turkey. Then […]  November has been a challenging and word-filled month for me, and you, if you’ve stuck with me through all the posts. Today is the last day of November and so beginning Monday I will return to my thrice weekly posting schedule. Believe it or not I have more to say, and some great posts planned […]  I am a big fan of leftovers, and Thanksgiving leftovers are really good! There are the obvious choices like a Thanksgiving sandwich, turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce on bread, a roll, or even on a tortilla. I hope you saved the carcass for soup, and you can make turkey noodle, or vegetable, or barley, turkey […]  Today is Thanksgiving Day.

Rhonda - Minestrone is always my stone soup 🙂 I never had lentils growing up, and the few times I had them as an adult I hated them – they were always under cooked. I have successfully made a pretty basic lentil soup a couple times, and with the lentils fully cooked, I love it! Actually, the whole family loves it! I’ve never put sausage in it though.
nrlowell@comcast.net - Hmm, and I am still working on a good minestrone! The pasta always gets too mushy.
Hoda Khalil - It looks great for a cold winter night, keep the soup recipes coming Nancy, thank you
Alison Flanagan Reinhart - Mmmm! I love soup and lentil soup is one of my favorites! I love how easily soup recipes can be switched up and changed according to what’s leftover in the fridge or on hand in the pantry! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Erin - I never knew that about red lentils! Great post!
nrlowell@comcast.net - Me either! Thanks
