Rice and lentil soup
I love these kinds of soups. Rice and lentils in one soup, and I added the Jerusalem artichokes for their amazing flavor and the soup came out thick and rich and scrumptious. The only thing missing with this soup is rain outside, but I won’t complain, I can still enjoy the soup when the sun shines! One or two bowls and you have a complete meal. Pamper your family with a great soup.
