Whole Mung Bean Soup With Rice image

I love this recipe - not sure where I found the original. So glad that I found it though, because I bought too many whole mung beans once upon a time and didn't know what in the world to do with them - if you have other recipes using whole mung beans, PLEASE let me know.
