spinach-lentil-soup recipe

 This is Dr. Zorba Pasteur's recipe from last Saturday's radio program.
 When Zorba gave the recipe my husband said that it sounded good except for
 the lentils which he thought are always too bland.  I wanted to prove him
 wrong so spiced up the soup with Better than Bouillon.  We both thought
 this tasted great.  Homemade bread and fresh pineapple and kiwi rounded out
 the meal, and we have enough left over soup for two more meals.  (Half goes
 into the freezer and the other half will be our dinner tomorrow night.)
