Nice, Rick!

I'm back.....lentil and split peas tends to cook very quickly and its substance just melts quickly to make a delightfully tasty sauce.

I love lentil soup it has a different taste to other peas

Great choice chubby!

Looks and sounds great Rick. I fixed my onion soup yesterday with a loaf of normal loaf french bread (just let the bread machine shape it) Doesn't look traditional but tastes just as good. I have never made lentil or split pea soup but think I will try very soon. I guess I've never knew how long to cook them since I've heard they cook a lot faster than normal dried peas.

Alright you threw a craving on me. Made it yesterday morning and it should last about three days. I skipped your sausage since I'm on a low sodium diet and omitted the carrot too for the same reason. Scubalaydee is right. Lentils do have a different flavor to them. I like it. I used sodium free chicken broth (Herb-Ox) to make up for the lack of sausage or meat and put a little Oregano and cumin in mine. Wish I could of topped it with cheese as you did but skipped it due to sodium. I did make a few pieces of toasted french bread to go with it though. It has been added to my soup recipes.

JP I didn't know carrots had sodium :confused: Your version sounds good too, and I'd love to try it.
