Lentil and Wide Noodles Soup

This simple recipe is from my mother. It is very easy to make, and it is also very healthy. Luckily my kids love this soup although its look is not very appealing. Since we are a vegetarian family, it is a great source of protein and iron. I usually make it with vegetable broth, but if I don’t have one, I use organic instant vegetable bouillon powder.
