1 lb red lentils
2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (or one 15-oz can)
Plain yogurt (optional)

Pretty good... still pretty lentil-y tasting, but I suppose that's to be expected.  Just kind of variation on the lentil soup theme for me.  Not sure I'd make it again, but it used up our swiss chard.  We topped ours with cottage cheese.
