Here is how you make Italian Lentil Soup:

Preparation: Soak lentils for 5-6 hours, or until all water is completely absorbed.When lentils are near ready, wash leeks. Chop leeks from root to about midway (best flavour). Dice carrots, onion and garlic (don't mince garlic). Cook: Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onions. Saute until clear. Add carrots and garlic. Toss in butter for 2 min. Add leeks and about 1-1.5 tsp salt. Toss all vegetables until completely and evenly covered in salt and butter mixture. Add lentils and cover with water. Simmer on low for 20-30 min, or until carrots are to liking. I like mine with a tiny bit of crunch still in them. Add more salt if desired. Can be frozen into portion sizes if necessary.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SEFANNING.
