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!
