When I was a young bride, I had a very thick, hard cover Vegetarian Cook Book that I got from one of those old book clubs. The one's where you buy four VERY over-priced books and get like 12 for free. It was one they sent me and I forgot to send back. Anyway, I ended up loving the book! It had an amazing lentil and brown rice soup recipe, but I lost the book decades ago and I've never been able to find it again or the recipe! This is my recreation of it from memory with a few tweaks since I'm older and a more experienced cook then I was back then! I think it might be better than the original!
