Sweet Potato And Red Lentil Soup From The Tummies' Kitchen

Spring is here but it is going to be sometime before I start making light salads and cold noodles for dinner again. Until then a hot bowl of soup is always welcome on those remaining wet chilly spring nights. YES! I did serve the panko crumbed sweet potato and lentil patties in a bowl of soup - a soup made from ingredients almost identical to the patties. If you have read any of my previous posts on soup, you should know how I love to add some texture to the smooth liquid. It is a rather peculiar idea to serve up a soup  but it works famously well and I am  extremely pleased with the result. Happy cooking and have a great weekend!
