TheDevineKitchen - Spanish-Style Lentil Soup
Lentils are to be enjoyed any time of year but cooked with leeks and garlic in springtime makes for a particularly nourishing meal. Use whatever spices or herbs you like. This recipe calls for paprika and sweet pimenton, which imparts sweet-smoky flavour.
