OK, this is one of the meals that I wish I wasn't blogging about.  I am a lover of all things lentil.  I've been wanted to make this Lentil Soup for several months and finally did.  Soup would not be an accurate description of this glop -- gruel is more like it.  I felt like my kids were the orphans from Oliver Twist.  Ha!   It actually tasted fantastic, but if I let it cool even a little it seriously turned into mortar.  I could have built a very sturdy brick wall with this stuff.  One of these days I will pass on a wonderful Lentil Soup recipe, but this is not the one :)

Of course, if YOU have a wonderful Lentil Soup recipe -- email me ASAP!
