Winter Lentil Vegetable Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Cecile Leverman PHOTO BY: moonbabymandi

"This soup has very little fat, is cheap and easy to make and delicious. Our family practically lives on it in the winter and I usually double the recipe. Sprinkle grated cheddar on top if you wish. If you can't hang around long enough for this to cook, put it in a slow cooker."
