I love lentils. How talented you are to throw together such a good recipe when you don't feel well. I will write this down.

Add a few dashes of good hot sauce to make it even better, or add salsa as a "garnish". I found I love adding a decent chunk of salsa to soups and stews now.

I make a veg lentil soup very similar to this. The veg in mine varies depending to what is in the fridge.
