To my fellow soup lovers, I present to you a soul-soothing bowl of Short Rib Lentil Soup as my undeniably flavorful contribution to the #GlobalApron Challenge this week. Lentils take center stage in this dish, complemented by tender short ribs as a satisfying bone meat choice that’s anything but guilty! With ingredients this good, l doubt anyone needs substitutions.
