Note 1: If this is too much soup for you, simply use one lentil bean package. Use half the measurements Nonna used for the rest of the ingredients.
Note 2: Nonna used 8ish cups of water. However, if you read the package it will likely specify the amount of water needed. If you add the extra ingredients like Nonna did you’ll need more water. If you add too much water, just let the soup simmer longer. If you find the soup too thick, simply add more water.
Note 3: You could add carrots or celery as you desire. As always you can substitute Nonna’s favorite spices for your own and taste testing as you go is important to this recipe!
