Soup au Nad

A delicious tomato, lentils, and quinoa soup that evolved from a recipe my dear friend Nadia used to make when we lived together. Over the years, some of the ingredients have changed and the recipe has been renamed “Soupe au Nad” (Nadia Soup rather than Nadia's Soup) because of my husband's beginner French.
