This was very good - I added 1/2 teaspoon thyme and it gave an extra bit of flavor. I used dried French lentils - they're our favorite - and this turned out quite nicely. I also added a diced turnip, which I will not do again, as it added a weird taste I could have done without! Overall, a delicious and hearty soup. Thanks for posting Boomie ~ made for FALL PHOTO TAG, October 2010!
