My Favorite Lentil Soup
This is a very yummy lentil soup with a mediterranean flair. I learned it from a girlfriend of mine. it is very easy to make. You can double and triple the recipe without any trouble and it freezes well if you want to use it for a freezer dinner. Most of all, it is just so tasty. It feels like comfort food, but isn't as fattening and has a lot more flavor.
