Keep your Feet in the Street

Here's a wonderfully homey, comfort soup from Kim

Lentil Soup

Recipe By :My Mom

1 Cup Lentils
4 1/2 Cups Chicken broth/stock (I use the fat free stuff)
2 1/2 sprigs parsley -- snipped
1 bay leaf
12 ounces tomato -- crushed (I use canned)
2 stalks celery -- chopped
2 sticks carrot -- sliced
1 onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 teaspoon thyme (dried)

1. cook until vegetables are tender, 1 1/2 - 2 hours

Seriously, that's how my mother gave it to me. But basically, she just throws it all into a pot, brings to a boil and then lets it cook.

We really enjoyed this soup on a nasty, cold night.

I like how you can see the steam coming up, in the photo.

Thanks, Kim.
