Day 3 #iWriteDaily

A friend who loves YouTube sent me a video of Gina Petitti, “The Italian Grandmother,” cooking lentil soup. Gina is charming, and reminded me of my Ukrainian Baba, so I had to follow along and try her recipe.
Yum! It’s pretty similar in ingredients I usually add myself; but the way she sautés the vegetables separately then adds water, making a sort of stock before combining with the cooked lentils, was interesting.
As Gina says, “Today is a soup day,” with the temps dropping into the single digits again. Her recipe was the perfect way to keep warm.
Watch Gina’s video at https://youtu.be/jc_dvl8AYG8. She has many more on her channel, too.
Soup comforts, scenting the air as it warms on the stove, filling corners of hunger as memories slide into place, contenting souls and tummies alike. Yumm!
