Marcel’s Lentil Soup is a wonderful tomato based lentil soup. Simple to make and full of flavor. This is a recipe you will make over and over again!
Marcel was one of the most amazing women I have ever known. She was so kind. So generous with her heart and spirit. I was lucky to have known her. She taught me many things outside of the kitchen, too many to list here. What I can do is share some of her favorite recipes that she shared with me. This soup was just one of them.
I wasn’t a huge lentil fan before she served me her lentil soup and I still make it regularly. There is usually some in my freezer and it freezes beautifully.
Marcel’s Lentil Soup is healthy and delicious, especially if you enjoy tomato soup as much as I do! I can’t wait to hear what you think! Please take a moment to let me know. I would be grateful.
