"I got this recipe off the Internet, and I love it. I often cut the lentil measurement in half and make it into a soup. This is a quickly prepared, hearty vegetarian stew (or soup using half the lentils) that satisfies as a complete meal with an 'I want more!' quality. This is also my 'Chicken Soup,' with added water, consumed at the lightest tickle. The only down side of this recipe is that I can't stop eating it."
