Lentil Soup

2 cups uncooked lentils, washed
8 cups water or veg stock
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced or ¼ tsp. of garlic powder
tomatoes, chopped @ 2-3
1 stalk celery, chopped
1-2 potatoes, chopped
2 tbsp. oil
2 bay leaves
1-2 tsp. salt
Mix all ingredients in a soup pot and cook until lentils are very soft; about 1-1-½ hours. Add 2 tsp. vinegar at the end and serve.

I use white or cider vinegar with this one.

Excellent with cornbread on cold nights.

I got this from a friend from New York while both of us were assigned to the same Army unit in The Netherlands.

Sounds good!
Have to go to the store to get ingredients but will try to make it this weekend.

I'll let you know how it goes.

There was a resturant back home, DC/Md/Va area, that made a great lentil and spicy sausage soup. Yummm!!

Sounds delicious! Fall and winter is good soup time. I just made a good soup last night by cutting up two chicken breasts in chunks and throwing them in lightly salted boiling water. Then adding in a can of canneloni beans (a dented can marked 35 cents) and some chopped frozen kale. It turned out well.

I was trying to be creative with what I had in my freezer and pantry, and not go grocery shopping this weekend.
