Like I've mentioned before, I wasn't really a soup kinda guy. Still not. But my friend's wife (yes, she's a redheaded vegetarian) made some lentil soup for us one evening a few years ago. I have to admit, it did tickle my fancy.
The recipe above calls for some blender/food processor action. Makes it smooth like Camel cigarettes...
It looks like split pea soup. I really hated that stuff when I was a young lad... It's probably split pea soup that turned me off soup for 20 years. Disgusting.
