Cook the Book: Lentil Soup

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 5, 2007

And so we've come to the end of the road with this week's installment of Cook the Book, the late James Beard's Beard on Food.

"Lentils," Beard wrote, "might have been devised for winter meals. They are a marvelously nutritious, satisfying, and economical food, and to me, their flavor is more interesting and distinctive than any of the beans, except perhaps the fava."

And while it's a probably a little early to start thinking about winter, I don't see why you couldn't make this soup on a chilly fall day.
