Caroline made this delicious vegetarian split. Many of you were enthusiastic about the lentil soup recipe I posted a few weeks back. I like to finish each bowl with a generous drizzle of golden olive oil, a few flecks of lemon zest, and a dusting of smoked paprika to give the soup some. I love making vegan split pea soup. This is a quick frugal meal.
