Lentil Soup

Followed a recipe today, from 101 Cookbooks: Lentil Soup. Instead of a can of crushed tomatoes I just smashed up three tomatoes (and broke a wooden spoon in the process). Instead of larger leafy greens, I used spinach. Finally, we stirred in some pepper, cumin, coriander, and paprika, along with more salt. We used regular yogurt instead of greek for the saffron yogurt topping, and it was delicious.

Notes: Don't crush tomatoes with a wooden spoon. This soup needed more tomato to it, though I would like to try it with red peppers instead sometime (or also). Things to try: wilted cabbage, peppers, carrots, garlic, bacon, bay leaf.
