Lentil Soup

I was a young teen when I began my love for lentil soup. Ohhh how much I love it. I can remember the satisfaction after I ate it. My mom would prepare it and as soon as I came from school I remember the smell Mmmm….. how I loved it; specially on cold winter days. Talk about comfort food? This is one that beats all. Not even knowing how nutritious lentil are. They are rich in Protein and many other nutritious factors. With chunks of pork, carrots, potatoes, and the distinct taste of cilantro. Now, I serve my family this very satisfying meal and guess what? Now they have also learned to love it!
