Well get ready because this soup is that good, maybe not giving up status as a forefather good, but its darn addicting and sure to be a big hit with your family/guests. It's also fairly easy because you do not need to sautee the vegetables before cooking the soup! It's creamy, a great balance of interesting flavors, and truly is my favorite soup to serve.
Lentils are high in protein, fiber, and are a fairly cheap way for many vegetarian populations to get these nutrients. In fact, lentils are third in protein percentage to only Soybeans and hemp. They are also one of the first domesticated plants in the ME.
5 Cups Water
1 Cup Red Lentil
1 Cups Onions, Chopped
