When I think "soup", I think onions, celery and carrots. They're in here. When I think "winter", I think barley (or rice). In here. And when I think "favorite family foods", I think lentils. In here, too. I can my summer tomatoes so I substituted 4 pints of my "homegrown" for the canned. I used butter instead of margarine and I flavored my water with 10 Low Sodium Beef Bullion cubes (instead of the vegetable soup mix), additional garlic, a Bay Leaf (which I removed prior to serving), tarragon, parsley, cayenne pepper and basil. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, I tossed in the meat (diced) from 5 pre-cooked pork chops. Garnish with either Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan or Provolone cheese and serve with a loaf of crusty bread and a fruit bowl and you've got yourself one of the heartier, healthier and most economical meals you'll ever enjoy. (Oh, yes, almost forgot: salt and pepper to taste)
