What? Lentils are amazing! I make a soup recipe with them through out the winter, if you have an HEB near you grab the store brand and that recipe is on th back. Just add a hot pepper before you cook it and a handful of chopped cilantro just before its done. Use olive oil instead of ham hocks if you want it meat free. Be prepared to fart a lot though lol. If you want the recipe let me know and I'll find it.
