First, note the 16 or so grams of fiber. Second, if you put the lentils
in soup, you don't have to have a full 1 cup serving of lentils. I just
made a soup, but haven't tasted it yet, as it needs a cool-reheat cycle,
that started with 1/2 cup dry lentils. Given all the other stuff in the
soup, it will probably be 6 or 8 servings of soup. (There are carbs from
some of the other veggies, but the bulk of the soup is shredded cabbage.)

I have generally had no difficulty with other legumes in soup, but this
is my first try in a long time to have lentils. I anticipate extra
testing tomorrow, to see how this works.
