Some were lentils and split peas. But by the time they were all
cooked about half the varieties were mush. I'd not cook lentils and
split peas together either. I prefer to cook one type of legume at a
time. I'll eat this soup but I'd not do it again. I froze most in
pint containers and transfered the remainder to fill a 4 quart pot. I
intend to try gifting as many of the frozen pints as possible.
