Beef Lentil Soup Recipe
You can prepare this soup as the main course in a hearty lunch or dinner. But—on cold winter evenings here in New England—I've often poured a steaming mugful and enjoyed sipping it in front of our fireplace as well. —Mrs. Guy Turnbull, [url=x-apple-data-detectors://44/1]Arlington, Massachusetts[/url] TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min.
