Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Denise, I'm surprised to see the directions say to soak the lentils. Since lentils cook up in about 40 minutes you usually don't have to soak. Have you made this yet?

When the soup comes to a boil add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is done, about 15 minutes. Serves 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
