This soup is hearty and filling. It's made with lentils, rice, cumin, and tomatoes and is sure to warm you up from the inside out. Serve it with some crusty bread for a complete meal.

  1. rooboy REVIEW:

    I would have given this soup a 5 but I needed to add a few ingredients for extra flavor. i added a sprinkle of Red Pepper Flakes and a half cup of chicken broth. The chicken broth loosened it up a bit. It was a little to thick. I will keep this recipe though because the cumin flavor was wonderful.
