“I have emptied a pot of lentils into the ashes for you. If you have picked them out again in two hours’ time, you shall go to the ball with us.” ~ Into the Woods
This wonderful lentil soup recipe makes for a perfect fall meal. That something as simple as a pot of lentils, through heat and seasoning and some supplemental ingredients, should become something as delicious and sustaining as a soup is a wonder that will never disappoint me. Fall brings me back into the kitchen, back to the stove from which I generally shy away during the warm summer months. There is a comfort in that, and it reminds me of winters when a broken heart would only be healed through the warmth of a pepperoni tomato sauce. Food can heal that way. Cooking too.
