SOUP!!!

Lentil & pasta soup, actually!
(Passions to pastry)
Very delicious. This was my second run making this recipe. I was intending to swap half of the orzo in it for barley, but I realized at the last second that I no longer possessed any barley. However, I've been exchanging the lemon juice (which I do not have presently) for lime juice (which I do), and it has tasted just fine as such.

I've recently gained a striking interest in lentils, having tried them for the first time at Amy's Place a couple weeks ago. I cannot believe I haven't tried them before, for as tasty as they are. Regardless, I've lined up a slew of recipes with which to eat them, so I'm hoping they will all be delicious!

P.S. Here's the reference to my introduction (if you didn't already catch it).

    You tried lentils for the FIRST TIME a couple weeks back?!! You are not really from this planet, are you?

    (hehehe... Check out spice market/super bazaar someday. They have a minimum of 25 different kinds of lentils and dried legumes.

    That looks good. I think I will try it.

    Have you tried red lentils, yet? I cook up a batch of red lentils and then eat with a dollop of yogurt and some caramelized onions.

    Re: @janelle - I can't say that I have. This is my first time really taking a stab at anything "lentils." Is there a pretty distinct difference between some of them?

    Re: @tinypliny - I've yet to make it over there, despite my friend's recommendation to check it out. However, I'm quite impressed by the Lexington Co-op's big bulk-pouring containers of them1. I never really checked it out much before, but lentils were one of the items I was not expecting to see!

    Red lentils are different from the lentils you probably made. They start out looking pink/red, but cook down into this soft orange mush. I was completely shocked the first time I cooked them and had to check to see if I had done it right. And they have a different flavor than other lentils.
