Been doing lentil soups like this for years. I also like to brown pieces of chicken in a pan and add it to the stew when adding the lentils and just let is finish in the stew until it’s falling off the bone. It’s always a hit and never disappoints.

What a beautiful story about your adorable pot and the longing for things that bring pleasure including the earthy lentils in home away from home. I loved your story, and it made me miss and appreciate all my relatable stories that bubbled up while reading. Lots of love and olive oil - Angela

I love this, I can definitely relate to this feeling after living at so many different rental places. Cooking is definitely what grounds me somewhere. After all, home is where I can cook. By the way, I love this kind of lentil stew, will try your recipe soon :)

I love this post, the idea of cooking in a place to domesticate it is very familiar to me. Also, it makes me think of one of my favourite books, Banana Yoshimoto's The Kitchen.
