    I love lentils, this Chicken and Lentil Soup is on constant rotation in my house as well as this delicious Lentil, Avocado and Egg Bowl for lunch.,When I was a kid, most of our meals started with a bowl of soup. Lentil soup was often on the menu; because I was such a picky eater, the only way Mom got me to eat it was by pureeing it in the blender I loved it!,As an adult, Im no longer picky and I love lentils every which way, but I still find a bowl of this creamy pureed soup comforting, especially on a cold night. This makes a great first course, or serve it with avocado, rice and salad on the side to make it a meal. This is perfect for meatless Mondays if you use vegetable broth, gluten-free and leftovers are perfect for lunch enjoy!
