Note: This makes a lot of soup. I used an 8 qt pot and it was about half full when finished. This is based on multiple red lentil recipes. Instead of okra or additionally you could use caulifloer, daikon radish, etc. I don't use salt, but you could add a bit of salt if needed when you serve it.

This should be JS compliant.
