This recipe makes a large pot of soup, great for company. It also freezes well for future quick meals. If you don't want so much, just cut the recipe by half. I serve this with cornbread.
Rinse the lentils well with warm running water.
Place all ingredients in crockpot and cook on the low setting for 6 - 8 hours or until the lentils are tender. This is nice garnished with grated goat cheddar cheese.
