Another pumpkin recipe? Yes. Yes. |
It's that time of year for sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headaches, earaches, and all the other nasty congested horrors that happen when a cold interrupts sweater loving and knee high boot shopping. Usually tea and blankets and books help ease the painful sinus attacks. Or sleep for days and days.
For today's soup, I inserted my pumpkin adoration into the first step of getting on the mend. With hearty lentils, favorite herbs and spices, and broccoli yumminess, I managed to create a savory meal that fills the belly up for once.
However, the only probable cause is that I cannot smell anything.
