This delicious and easy lentil soup brings onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomatoes, and lentils together in a perfectly seasoned vegetables broth with fresh thyme. The end result is a tasty heart warming soup with plenty of nutrition that the whole family can enjoy. This recipe is a hearty meal all by itself but for a classic weekend feast I like to serve it with Marinated Cucumbers and Red Onions and Garlic Hummus with fresh toasted pita slices. We are big soup lovers in this house. We eat and enjoy soup year round. As I always say it is a good things we have air conditioning.
