    I have made a good soup.
    Lentils with water to cover the lentils then add garlic and salt and peper - in a crock pot, cooked on high til the lentils are about half cooked, the I add chopped carrots and potatoes.
    Just season to taste. Nice to cook in the crock all day. I check the water hourly. I dont like it with too much otherwise it is runny and it does not have that lentil taste. It is better as a thick soup and not a lot of liquid at the end.

    I make an Italian soup with lentils, brown rice, loads of veggies, crushed tomatoes and herbs. We call it Roto-Rooter soup... Tastes soooo good (especially with a nice glass of cabernet) topped with fresh shredded parmesan. Oh, and did I mention it's 'cleansing'? :tongue: :ohwell:

    Lentil burgers and lentil ricotta meatballs from this site are both sooooo good. I just posted this in another thread, people are gonna think I own this site but I swear I don't LOL! I just made a lentil meatball mixture tonight for tomorrow night's dinner. Mmmm they are the best.

    I can totally vouch for wendystarr's lentil ricotta meatballs - I LOVED them! Good with pasta, alone, tzatziki sauce (like a falafel) and I even ate them with bbq sauce and liked it. Easy to make too.

    mmmmm yummo!!

    i also add th lentils with basmati rice, loads of garlic and cut cubes of cucumber and tomatoes in olive oil or opt for low fat greek yogurt!!! i don't personally do the greek yogurt any more but the cucumber/tomato salad on top of the lentil rice is soooo refreshing and filling!!!

    A little oil your favourite curry powder/paste or Indian spices - lightly fry the spices to get them going add lentils and enough water to cover simmer till soft - blend if you like them smooth - or check indian recipes for daal - garlic/onion possible - garnish with yoghurt
