Lentil Soup Recipe Featured in Lentil Festival Cookbook

My entry in the National Lentil Festival cook-off did not get first or even sixth place, but was published in the Cookbook [pulse@pea.lentil.com]. There it is under soups, "Stealth Soup", the idea being that it might qualify for the special "I Hate Lentils" category, as the lentils are pretty difficult to detect in the smooth, rich, creamy soup.

First place went to the "Animal Cracker Dip (Fudgy Chocolate Frosting)" recipe filled with cocoa and butter, vanilla, powdered sugar and, incidentally, lentils. To crib from T. Colin Campbell, worms and cardboard would taste good with butter and cocoa.

Anyway, a lot of the recipes look pretty good and some are even made sans animal-sourced products. It was worth it to participate. It made me happy.
