Cooler weather is just around the corner, and you know what that means: We’re approaching soup and stew season. Few things are as satisfying on a chilly evening than wrapping your hands around a warm bowl of hearty soup and letting all that heat work its magic inside you.
TK member Rachael shares her comforting Pork and Lentil Soup and I love the flavors in this. It has garlic, ginger, cumin and red chili flakes for spice, lime juice for tang, and pork for meaty goodness. If you’d rather skip the pork chops, you can easily substitute ground pork or even chopped shrimp or mushrooms. (Pancetta would be tasty, too.)
Thanks for the recipe, Rachael! I know this is what’s happening in my kitchen tonight. If you’d like to join me, you can grab the printable recipe here. Then go visit Rachael’s blog at La Fuji Mama, where you’ll be tempted by all the great recipes and enchanted by her adorable little girls.
Happy Wednesday, everyone!

You’re right … summer’s almost gone and the cool season should soon set in. Pork and lentil soup should give us that delicious hot rush at dinnertime. While I’m a sucker for pork, I eat this rather sparingly. So who says I can’t have chopped prawns for substitute. I’d probably just make it a little bit more hot and spicy and add more chili.

This inspires me to be more creative with my lentil soup! Shrimp sounds VERY good.
