Holy bob-aloni, this is a great soup! I had everything on hand, the red lentils, the frankfurter, the potatoes, added the sliced leek, the frankfurter, and used the rosemary and garlic! It went together so easily, and was yumm-eris-ish! I followed the directions except I saved the water that cooked the potato and and lentils, and used that to mix back in after food processing the mixture of lentils, potato, and vegetables. I loved the use of the fried frank on top too. Perfect in a bowl. Would suspect this is a real kid pleasing soup. Made for *ZWT Six* Zee Zanies May 2010
