Fall is in the air.
I can smell it, see it, feel it.
I love it.
Doesn't it just make you wanna curl up on the sofa with a snuggie and chow down on a big bowl of SOUP? It makes watching a football game with Husband so much more tolerable fun.
My mother is obsessive compulsive an expert in finding hearty and healthy soup recipes. I mean, if she looks THIS good, then she MUST be eating well, right?!
Here is the recipe for the Hearty AND Healthy Lentil Soup she makes...I happen to love it. I just made it for me and Husband so we can enjoy this week. (I froze a bunch so we can enjoy throughout the Fall - so easy!)
Here are the ingredients you'll need: 
3 cups chopped onions2 carrots, grated1 teaspoon marjoram1 teaspoon thyme1/2 cup olive oil In large kettle, saute vegetables and spices, stirring often, until lightly browned. about 5 min.
2 1 lb. cans tomatoes with liquid, lightly chopped10 cups water6 bouillon cubes (vegetable or beef)2 cups dried lentils, rinsed1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon pepper Add. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 1 hour or until lentils are tender.1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley or 3 tablespoons dried parsley.
Pour in bowl (a bread bowl would be delightful) and eat up! And, for you cheese-aholics lovers, sprinkle some grated sharp cheddar cheese on top of a steaming hot bowl of soup (don't burn yourself though!).
Do you have a soup recipe that reminds you of Fall? Please...do tell...
