My mom made this tomato lentil soup often when I was growing up, and I continued to make it for myself in college. As a busy college student, I don't have much time to eat, let alone cook. This soup is quick and easy to make, and it's incredibly good for you. Even though it's delicious, it's a little dull in color — make it more appealing by garnishing it with freshly chopped parsley or chives and a lemon slice!
Ingredients
- 2 containerss chicken broth , 32 ounce
- 2 cups dry lentils
- 1 medium onion , diced

Red, White, and Blueberry Grilled Chicken
These colors don't run — but they do stain! That's why I recommend enjoying this delicious red, white, and blueberry grilled chicken outdoors. Smoky, spicy meats have been paired with sweet-and-sour, fruit-based sauces for as long as cooks have been cooking, so it's no surprise this combination works beautifully in this recipe. And yes, other fruits like peaches or different berries will work just as well!
Carrot Dill Soup
A beautiful and tasty soup made with pureed carrots and fresh dill. If fresh herbs are not available, use 1/3 of the amount for dried herbs.
Grilled Chicken Salad Sandwich
This creamy grilled chicken salad with crunchy celery and sweet cranberries tastes great in a sandwich or on lettuce. It's a delicious way to use leftover cooked chicken breasts from dinner the night before!
