Red Lentil, Veggie & Tomato Soup

You know when you see a Mummy Blogger or Recipe Creator post a Recipe and you think to yourself, gosh, I wish my kids ate like that? Well, I just want you to know, that is not the case here. I literally made this amazing soup, it is so delicious, like seriously yum, the lentils give it that next level, really good soup vibe, and no one ate it. Not the husband, not the kids, not even my little one who takes after me with the love of vegies. I’m not complaining, because I know one of them will eventually love it (especially if I make the effort to puree it) but my point being, sometimes, a good soup is just for us. Sometimes, it’s just the grown women who are going to enjoy it. So make it, share it with a friend, enjoy it just for you, knowing that it’s nourishing your body and soul. Even it it’s just for us, or for me to share with you, it’s so worth it xox
