Love a good soup…and let me say that this Lentil soup is really…GOOD!
There is nothing like a nice bowl of hot soup…but I tell you lentil soup is the top of my soup list.
Really, it is.
I had never made lentil soup. It was my daughter-in-law who introduce me to lentils.
What’s in it? Well, lentils of course along with onions, carrots, celery and hot dogs…yes, hot dogs…I can tell you my grand kids love this soup, and the main reason is due to the hot dogs.
Spoon it in a bowl and sprinkle with cheese and enjoy. I bet you will get up and have a second bowl…I always do…

Fill a soup pot 3/4 up with water( I use a large pot) Then add to pot the following:
1/2 bag lentils

1 1/2 tspn dried basil
