Earlier this month at the Winds of Change Wellness Gathering, Matt Prescott of Snowline Catering ran a workshop on preparing affordable healthy food.

He demonstrated the preparation of Lentil Soup, and has shared the recipe here, so you can try it at home for yourself… (If you do, send us a pic, or a review of how tasty it was!)

This recipe kicks off our One Pot Winter Warmers series. Following the success of the One Mile Photo Feast, we’re throwing the recipe-sharing cook-off challenge back to the community. Share a recipe for something you can simmer on your stove in one pot. (There’s no better cure to the seasonal blahs than the smell of something healthful brewing away on the stovetop…)
