<h1>Lentil Soup</h1>
<p>Lentils are an edible legume, historically eaten in Mediterranian cultures, and later spreading to India and throughout Europe. A lentil soup recipe can be found in De Re Coquinaria, a Latin cookbook thought to be compiled around the end of the Roman Empire in the West, perhaps suggesting that lentil soups have been eaten for millenia.</p>
<p>This recipe uses red lentils, which are supposed to be best for soups. They get sort of mushy as they cook, thickening up the soup. Goes well in bread bowls.</p>
