I love this soup because it's so easy to make. We've made it for friends who are vegetarian by using a veggie stock and they loved it too. There are lots of other recipes in Jacques Pepin's Simple and Healthy Cooking book we like too.

1 1/2 c. lentils (8 ounces)

1 medium potato - peeled and diced (about a cup)

1 small onion - thinly sliced

1 1/2 c. carrot - cut in 1/2" pieces (I use baby carrots)

4 c. chicken stock

3 c. water

3/4 t. salt

1/2 t. dried thyme
