Roberta's (Birdie's) Coconut and Red Lentil Soup

It was a clear day and the sun was shinning, quite suddenly a mist or light fog enveloped the area, right before our eyes where there was naught a second ago was a Siren of great culinary reputation…Roberta, who quietly ushered us out of the kitchen. When we returned just a while later, we found this delicious soup simmering on the stovetop. We haven't seen her since she graced us with an awesome hummus recipe, thanks for popping in again Birdie, we humble before your culinary expertise.
