Favorite Lentil Soup Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Favorite Lentil Soup Recipe). Lentil soup is a favorite in the Middle East. It is often the first dish used to break the day of fasting during Ramadan. My husband loves it anytime of year, especially on cold days. Serve with grissini, or garlic croutons. Can be reheated, but may need to be thinned with heavy cream or water. Garnish with fresh parsley.
