Red Lentil Soup with Lemon
I made this soup a while back and uploaded the photos, intending to come back later and add witty commentary. Except that I no longer remember what was going on the day I made the soup. Not sure why I even tried this particular recipe, having posted a rather nice and easy version a while back.
About the only thing I can remember is that I used chicken broth as the base. But you can easily make a parve/veggie/vegan version by using veggie broth instead.
