Fundalentil Soup

Thanks Nina! This Lentil Soup is the best soup recipe EVER!! It was my first time cooking Lentils and I have to say I was nervous as hell! The Lentils I used turned out to be a mixed bag of Lentils and Rice but the rice still cooked nicely and the soup was delicious!! Thanks for adding this recipe for me Nina!
