The weekend was beautiful, now it rains--soups on the way- my lentil soup

Weddings.  We just went to one.  I wore a dress suit and Nike shoes with bright green bottoms.

My Aunt Tami looked like a bride. We all dressed up, ate good food (filet) and danced around (except for me).

Here is a recipe for my lentil soup.  My Mom did most of the work this time because I had a cough.

Paris's Lentil Soup

-Wash one bag of lentils

-Put them into a slow cooker with some water and  veggie stock.

-Dump a can of tomatoes and tomato stock into the crock pot.

-in a frying pan

-add several diced onions

-add sliced carrots

-cook until they are softened

-salt and pepper
-add a couple swirls of olive oil.  More oil the better!

-add to crock pot, and cook for 6 hours.

 My Mother's friend Diane like this soup.  She always wants my Mom to make it for her.

Please serve this soup with several dashes of balsamic vinegar and some fresh (we still have some in the garden) parsley.  It makes a difference to the flavor and long french bread is good for dipping in the soup!

This is a good soup for when it rains.  There is no need to make anything else.
