Introduction

Adapted ever-so-slightly from http://joanne-eatswellwithothers.com - I doubled the lentils (by accident - oops, but it still tastes awesome), I upped the garlic, and I subbed out the jalapeno with cayenne. Delicious! Too hearty to just be a soup course. :) Adapted ever-so-slightly from http://joanne-eatswellwithothers.com - I doubled the lentils (by accident - oops, but it still tastes awesome), I upped the garlic, and I subbed out the jalapeno with cayenne.
