Hearty Lentil Soup I image

This is a cold day, stick-to-the-ribs type of soup. Serve with French bread and a good salad and you'll feel good. If, while making this soup you find it to be too thick, just add heavy cream or water to dilute.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the pot with some lentils and vegetable broth. It turned out great!

This is a great recipe for a healthy and satisfying soup. I made it for my family and they all loved it. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. The lentils are hearty and filling, and the vegetables add a nice crunch. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
