Lucky Lentil Soup

These days, when people ask me what's new, I talk about two things:

1. Bullet journaling.
2. Buying grains and legumes in bulk.

And when I say bulk, I mean BULK. Forget a pound or two of beans in a Ziploc bag from the co-op. I'm talking 25 pounds of green lentils in a brown paper sack from Azure Standard.

With all those lentils in the basement and all that snow outdoors, of course lentil soup is on the menu. And throw in the black-eyed peas leftover from another recipe, why not.
