Trying New Food

I had never eaten red lentils but came across a recipe quite by accident for red lentil soup. I made the recipe for the gathering of librarians to discuss children's literature. The soup is wonderful and it is vegan! It is one of those rare recipes where the flavors blend so well that you can't distinguish any individual flavor. Plus it is also one of those recipes that you feel very satisfied after eating like it contains everything you need. I had never found a way I liked to eat kale until a coworker gave me a recipe for a soup with kale which was also delicious. I am sure I will be making these recipes again.
