Crockpot Lentil Soup
I love lentil soup and I must not be alone in that love because when I used to buy canned soup I loved a particular brand lentil soup and it was always missing from the shelf. I cannot believe it took me so long to make this because it was so easy and so delicious. Even The Husband liked it and I never thought I would get him to eat a lentil!
