Comfort Soup

This week in class we went into the HUB kitchen and made one of the best meals I have had since leaving home. We broke up into small groups and made lentil soup from scratch. Soup is a great comfort food that makes me feel like I am right at home again. It is a nutritious meal because it is very balanced and is full of various vitamins and minerals that help the body.



All the vegetables we used in the soup were fresh and full of flavor. What amazed me the most about the soup was how much flavor it had when we used water as the base of the broth instead of using the normal vegetable or chicken broth. I can only imagine how amazing it would have tasted if we had used chicken broth. The technique we used to get the most flavoring into the soup was by layering the flavors. We would add little bits of different herbs and spices until we got our desired taste. It was a delicious recipe that I’m going to bring back home with me and cook on some cold winter day.
