Lentils are one of my favorites, but they are difficult to cook at my altitude (~4800 ft), and the result is that the vegetables are overcooked by the time the lentils are soft.
This soup had an amazing flavor after cooking the instructed amount. But after the additional hour to soften the lentils, the flavor was not as bright.
Next time, I will pressure cook the lentils first.

My husband never fails to surprise me. I was afraid he wouldn't care for this soup as most times when I make lentil soup he doesn't, but he loved it. He ate half the recipe with some cornbread. I had planned to make this one when my daughter was here since both she and I love lentil soup. Plans change and since we had a white Christmas yesterday I decided today was the perfect day since hubby and I were stuck home alone with piles and piles of snow outside. Next time I'll double the recipe if anyone else is here since hubby and I cleaned the pot. No leftovers, sign of a recipe that's a keeper for sure.
