Lentil Soup Recipe Rating 4

This hearty soup can be easily doubled for big crowds. My family likes it topped with shredded cheddar cheese.

As previously reviewed this is a very nice recipe. A good soup recipe to throw together on a cold northeast night. I did not have fresh tomatoes on hand so I used a can 14.5 oz of diced tomatoes, which I drained. Again a very nice, tasty recipe.
