Dinner tonight: Lentil & Potato Soup

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Lentils and potatoes are two ingredients that are always stocked in our pantry. As luck would have it, they combine effortlessly in the most delicious Lentil & Potato Soup.

While the soup is simmering on the stove, take a few minutes to prep an easy side. We like to serve some sort of green veggie with this soup.

  1. ​Arugula Salad with Toasted Breadcrumbs - Keep a stash of toasted breadcrumbs in the fridge to make this prep even quicker.
  2. ​How to Steam Green Beans - Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon zest.
  3. ​Apple & Brussels Sprouts Slaw - Reader review: "Made this tonight as a side for pork tenderloin and we all loved it...Definitely a keeper recipe."
