“Crescent says, ‘This great, easy, healthy, homey lentil soup can’t be beat. The few ingredients belie its deliciousness. The garlic and olive oil give a rich, almost meaty taste, yet it is vegetarian and tastes even better the next day. It is based on a recipe by a fine local cook.’”
- to 1/2 cup olive oil
- dried green lentils
- About 8 cups water
- cumin seeds
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
The original recipe called for all purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, vegetable oil and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. You can of course make them that way if you prefer- but this is yummy and healthy. If you want bread instead of muffins- bake for 50 minutes in a loaf pan at the same temperature. Enjoy!
