Real quick like, allow me to do update from yesterday's post. I wore the PRO Compression socks all day at work with a busy mammography schedule and they were awesome! I can tell you that my feet honestly didn't hurt as much, however, they did leave some red marks as is to be expected, which can be a bit irritating to some. If you haven't yet, hop on over to yesterday's post and enter my giveaway! It's super easy and quick and you could win a prize worth $50! Okay back to business. So, for the last couple weeks I have been craving lentil soup. Strange thing to crave...most people crave cupcakes or french fries. But not just any lentil soup..."Amy's" Lentil Soup to be precise. I made the enormous mistake of making a Costco trip while I was super hungry and let's just say I ended up with A LOT of goodies. One of those goodies was a 12 pack of Amy's Soup of the Lentil and Black Bean variety I think...honestly though, I can't remember the second flavor. I just freaking love that Lentil Soup! Oh my lord people, it's amazing. It's also amazingly expensive, even from Costco. I bought the soup for those days when, "Whoops! I didn't make dinner, I have no lunch for work and I don't even have any bread for making a sandwich..." However, what ending up happening was that I ate them all in a week's time. The lentil cans that is.

A couple weeks after my Amy's Lentil Soup rampage was over I started going through withdrawals. I went to the store like a soup crack addict to feed my addiction I had created, only to find that one can was like $3.50! Say whaaaaaaaat?! Oh hell no, y'all! I am not paying $3.50 for a can of soup I can make myself for dirt cheap. Straight up. And so, here I was, staring at this can of lentil soup, all cracked out. What's a lentil lovin' lady to do? True fact #1: I almost named my blog Lentil Lady after a friend called me that. I really like lentils, okay? True Fact #2: I brought a ginormous bowl of this leftover soup to work today and my coworkers asked me if I was taking it to the potluck we apparently happened to be having that day (I was not aware of this)...Noooo...I just really love lentils! Sheesh!

The solution was to of course just make my own! So, combining a recipe from another blogger who obviously suffers from the same addiction as myself and dissecting the back of the Amy's Lentil Soup can, I came up with my own recipe that tastes just like Amy's. It really, seriously does. I haven't done a blind taste comparison...but I'm not joking when I tell you that, yes, I do plan to.
