I went back in and added the amount I used. 3lbs of greens--especially herbs seemed too much to me too--even if they cook down. ;-)debinhawaiinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-42294489499060456342014-06-02T05:46:34.420-10:002014-06-02T05:46:34.420-10:00Totally love your creativity with your soup, Deb. ...Totally love your creativity with your soup, Deb. It sounds delicious although I was initially concerned by all the herbs: 3 lbs???

Loved reading about your roommate and the food you shared with her family. <br /><br />Love that this is so much like a thick stew full of all the things I love like lentils and chickpeas. I'm especially interested in the pomegranate glaze. Been wanting to get my hands on some since our YO days.<Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-25431636664371539182014-05-27T08:28:13.906-10:002014-05-27T08:28:13.906-10:00Thanks Alicia! ;-)Thanks Alicia! ;-)debinhawaiinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-73333705576391402672014-05-27T08:28:01.421-10:002014-05-27T08:28:01.421-10:00Thanks Debra!
