Lovely and oh so delicious soup. It's such a comforting and veggie packed soup with no guilt (well, except maybe for the sour cream, used low fat, so yeah, it's good on health). Followed as directed, except, used dry lentils that I added to cook away at the beginning of the cooking process and also threw in a chopped leek that I had hanging out in the fridge. Delicious, Patti! Thank you for sharing. Made it for Billboard Tag.

This has to be the best Lentil Soup I have ever tasted, reminded me of one I enjoyed years back in a little restaurant in New Mexico. Love the spicy, used carrots in the making as that is what I had on hand. I can see adding black beans for variety when making this. A keeper and added to my Soup Cookbook.
