Mid-east meets mid-west soup

Made this delicious soup that combined my favorite comfort foods all into one: mujadara, bacon, and split pea soup. And it was sooo easy, and gluten/yeast/dairy/wheat free! Here's the recipe:

1 cup dried split peas
1 cup red lentils (or any color you want)
6-7 cups chicken stock
1 vidalia or sweet yellow onion chopped
4-5 handfuls fresh spinach
1/2 tsp cumin
Salt to taste

Toppings:
Bacon crumbles
Feta cheese crumbles

Mix all the main ingredients in a pot and simmer for about 30 minutes or less if you like your lentils a little firmer.
Serve with bacon and feta crumbles! Soooooooo rich and savory and tastes so much more fattening than it really is. :) enjoy!
