ElisaGoing to try the lentil/chickpea soup as I love them both, I'm thinking I might add some shredded chicken or beef to it.3 Years ago, Thursday, February 9, 2023 -
MariaWhat ingredient are the small brown things in the soup in the photo of this recipe?3 Years ago, Sunday, November 20, 2022
ReginaIt's most likely the lentils which can get either brown or green. Don't use the tiny French lentils (eh puy) they'll totally disappear in this soup.2 Years ago, Wednesday, September 6, 2023
Hi Maria, I don't know, it could be the sauteed onion and garlic, we make this soup all the time but don't remember what that could be.3 Years ago, Sunday, November 20, 2022 -
Justin BorbaThis was really good. I was going to follow it exactly, but after I started I used the whole can of diced tomatoes and the whole can of chickpeas. I don't think it took anything away from the original.4 Years ago, Wednesday, March 2, 2022
