Tips

1. Would look prettier with orange sweet potatoes. I used Japanese because that's what I had on hand.
2. If desired, put a little cooked brown rice in the bottom of bowl before ladling soup.
3. Can easily be made on a stove top. It will take red lentils 20 to 30 minutes to cook when simmered.

It's the food!
