I was looking at a recipe that I had saved for North African Chickpea and Lentil soup. It had 3 cans (6 cups) beans, 5 cups vegetables, broth, and about 10 spices.

The beginning paragraph said that the soup could be topped with a hard boiled egg "to add protein to the meal". ?????

This concept you can't get protein anywhere but meat is really weird.
