Herbed Lentil Soup (By Melissa Costello of Karma Chow)

Many people believe that soups are difficult to make, so I asked a teenager to do a short video showing how easy it is to make a soup (see the video below, Lentil Soup with Meg). No problem!

For this recipe, I was given permission from Melissa Costello of Karma Chow to reproduce her “Herbed Lentil Soup”.

I hope you enjoy it!

We really enjoyed having Melissa come and speak to a group of health-oriented folks at Zenergy Club and Spa in Sun Valley, Idaho.
