Add a photoI love lentils and this is my new favorite soup! It has an unusual flavor combination that I love. The soup takes a little work but nothing is hard to do and the result is worth it. Some meat can be added if you want. The recipe is from the book Soup Love by Rebecca Stevens. Serve with homemade garlic croutons or a good crusty bread and a nice salad.
