This soup is so delicious! There is something about yellow lentils, the taste is super! You’ll love this dal with the veggies added, you can omit the collards, it was just a need for greens!
Let me know that you tried it. Winter is here finally in California. Where do you live? Serve with chapati, basmati rice, or by itself with a lovely salad.
Enjoy!
