Comments:
While doing research lately I've learned that beans and lentils are high in protein, low in fat, and generally pretty good for you. So I decided to take a shot at cooking them. This soup was easy to make, didn't take too long, and was very tasty. I left off the parmesan the recipe says to add to the top since I'd had some ice cream at lunch and didn't want to push the dairy threshold. I can't wait for leftovers for lunch this next week.
