An absolutely lovely lentil delight! I adore spinach and the generous amount of it in this soup was awfully comforting on a chilly spring evening. We halved the recipe, which still makes at least five servings!- but I accidentally put the whole amount of lemon juice! For the record, it was great!! LOL. Thanks!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
