Ximena's Tia Blanca's Soup

To be completely honest I don’t entirely know if my Tia Blanca’s Lentil Soup is part of my cultural background, but it is something special to me because she always made it on sad days. She specifically made it on days when it was cloudy outside, and it helped keep us warm. My siblings were very picky eaters, but for some reason they loved this soup so much. It is pretty easy and simple to make, but it is the thought that counts. Aside from lentils, the soup only had a broth and nothing else.
