Every when i’m at home ,my mom always get excited .She knows i love food and what better way to be home than winter.My mom loves cooking but she never cooks whenever i’m not home because my younger brother is barely at home so she has no one to cook for.
Yesterday she paid me a surprised visit.On my entrance to my place i could tell that my mom was around ,because of the smell of her favourite winter soup.The smell took me back when i was still a boy growing up at my grandmother’s house. Every time when mom visited us ,she would cook her favourite soup dish.I do not like surprised visit,however,this was one that i wish i could have every winter night.i decided to share her BEEF AND LENTIL SOUP secret ,so that you too can enjoy your winter
