Food Storage Recipe - Lentil Soup

Lentils Soup

Brown half of an onion in some butter. Add 2 quarts of water and 2 cups of dried Lentils to the onions. Bring this to a boil and cover it up and let simmer for about 2 hours. Then add

4 sliced carrots

1 chopped celery

2 potatoes that have been grated ( I even used frozen hashbrowns before when that was all that I had on hand. )

1 teaspoon basil

1 cup of tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

Continue simmering this with the cover on until all of the vegetables are tender.
