One of our volunteers, Rosie recently joined us for a Food Demo and prepared a delicious soup in celebration of rhubarb season!
The surprising combination of spiced lentils and rhubarb was delightful! Rhubarb is abundant this time of year, so this is a great time to try out Rosie's Rhubarb & Lentil Soup at home!
