Creamy Lentil Soup



It may not be pretty, but it’s incredibly good.

Serves 12 (This is doubled from the original recipe)
4 cups Lentils
4 cups sliced Carrots
4 cups chopped onions
8 cups water
15 oz (2 cups) tomato sauce (I like to add a bit more)
1 cup uncooked rice
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 Chicken bouillon cubes or 4 Tablespoons Chicken Seasoning
Sauté onions and carrots in butter, (for extra flavor) till tender (you can skip this step and just add the onions and carrots along with the other ingredients to the soup pot) . Combine all ingredients in a medium pot. Bring to boil and simmer till rice and lentils are soft, about ½ an hour. Pierre with 8 cups of milk. Return to pan and heat till warm and serve.
