not being a huge fan of kidney beans, i had to try out this recipe from deborah madison's vegetarian cooking for everyone when i came upon it, looking for a lentil soup recipe. a hearty soup made with green lentils, leafy greens (your choice of chard, mustard or spinach), and shell pasta, it fills you up with goodness and warmth. now if only the weather would stay cool!
