Author Notes
Growing up soup was never a favorite of mine for two reasons:
First a rather nasty experience with a package of Scotch Broth - to this day I cannot bear the sight or smell of it.
Second and the most damning, the pot of 'surprise soup' that sat on our stove top for most of my childhood years.
When I became passionate about cooking, soups were one of my favorite creations. Many of these soups have become fast favorites of friends and family members.
Some family members have been known to pass these delicous creations off as their own.... hence the name for this hearty fayre Annette's Original Curried Chicken and Lentil Soup —Annette Preston
