WINTER RECIPE: Red Lentil Soup

Since I have switched to red lentils, from brown lentils, my son has declared this his favorite soup.  Although I don't recognize a difference in taste, red lentils are much more appealing to the eye in this recipe.  Red lentils are high in protein.  They are more expensive, and harder to find in our neck of the woods.  Molly B's in Chesterton has them in bulk, check them out.

I serve this soup with a nice green salad (although not local or in season), warm whole wheat corn bread and finish off the dinner with a tropical smoothie (maybe that's why this is Tracy's favorite dinner).

1   onion, diced                                                                                                                                                               2T.
