Kerr- can you recommend a good mung recipe? My family says they taste like dirt.

I like my soups chunky! And it was delicious. I added a little cumin and red pepper to brighten it up a little. Favas are still not my favorite bean to cook with, because who can resist the ease of lentils or of mung? But I like how silky the inside of their pods are, and the soup was worth the work.
