Lamb and Lentil Soup

With the full onslaught of winter, I thought another crockpot recipe was in order. This soup

is a really comforting dish with great flavours and is hearty enough to serve as a main course. If you aren’t wild about lamb, feel free to substitute with stew beef. Also, if you’re making this for kids, they may prefer it before the lemon juice is added.

This one was a big hit with our crew. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
