This is an adaptation of a Turkish lentil soup recipe I love. This one removes the butter and a significant amount of salt but keeps lots of flavor with spices while the lentils and brown rice pack it with protein and fiber. My favorite type of lentils to use are red, but any color will do. If you can't find red lentils in the grocery store, try checking bulk bins at natural food stores or ethnic food markets. I like to cook mine until the liquid has been absorbed, but for a soupier version, use additional water and stop cooking before it is all absorbed.
