They say comfort comes in many forms. For me, it came in a pot of French Lentil Soup—earthy, humble, and quietly beautiful. Yellow onion, carrots, and celery softened in butter, lentils simmered until tender, pork bone and herbs adding warmth with every stir. The kind of soup that doesn’t shout, but hums—a steady reminder that simple food can carry the deepest comfort. Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. Recipe 39 of 457 is French Lentil Soup from Volume 2—and here’s how it turned out. We ladled it into bowls more than once this week, the kind of meal you’re grateful to have leftovers of. Hearty, cozy, and satisfying enough to stand on its own, but also perfect alongside a slice of warmed homemade bread. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Loved it A clear winner. Clean bowls, warm hearts, and the kind of recipe I’ll come back to whenever I need comfort. 390 recipes to go!
