Good, easy and healthy soup. I followed the directions and added an onion as well. The lentils were cooked but still a little "al dente". I think next time I'll leave the crockpot on all day. Glad you posted this though. -
A favorite of mine...also has become a favorite at my parent's home, apparently, since I prepared it there once and made extra for their freezer. I love this for it's ease of preparation...sometimes if I don't have leeks on hand, I will just toss in some sliced scallions instead and it works pretty well. I like to use French lentils, but regular ones work fine, too. Sometimes, I even cheat and use dried basil...it's always a winner!

I made up the chicken broth using vegetarian chicken stock cubes. Very nice soup and the lentils were cooked after 5 hours on "Auto" which cooks on high for an hour then switches to low.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
