NOW, this is a great recipe. Thanks for sharing, Krystina. I have everything in my pantry for this! This would not only make a great spread, but would be an excellent side dish for fish, chicken or lamb. Have a great weekend! – Shanna
Funny you said Lamb. I thought about that while writing the recipe. Great idea, and thanks for enjoying this.
Kindest regards- Krystina 🙂
Krystina,
Oh, *sigh.* I do adore lamb. ADORE. It is such a flavorful meat – no other red meat really compares to it’s succulence and complex taste.
Warm regards,
Shanna
Do you want to hear something funny??? My sister and I actually don’t eat lamb after we had witnessed some Greek Easter things.. I won’t get into that. Lol
My dad sure makes the best lamb, he knows how to season it exactly the way I would like it.
Krystina,
No lamb? You must have serious Easter PTSD, haha. 😉
Your dad’s lamb sounds delicious.
Take care,
Shanna
Ya I know I’m crazy lol!! But no lamb for me.
🙂
This sounds delicious! The fact that it’s healthy makes it even better 😀 Thanks for sharing!
Yes I love this soup and I added extra garlic to mine, of course. 🙂 You are very welcome Ada! Happy Friday! 🙂
