This is a delicious and filling soup! The flavors blend well and it yields to substitutions or additions. I don't use seaweed, so we sprinkle some vegan parmesan cheese on top. Also, I use French green lentils which are smaller and tastier than brown lentils. I add some sliced spinach leaves, which give a little color. This is one our favorite soups! The recipe makes a lot, so use a big pot and share some with your neighbors.
