Mud Soup (Lentil Potato Soup)

I know, the name is awful, but this is a great soup. We named it that when were kids because we thought it looked like mud.

Menu: Mud Soup, Fruit Salad, Rolls

Mud Soup:
2 strips bacon (optional)
1 onion, chopped and sauteed
1 c. uncooked lentils
1/4 c. flour


Mix the above ingredients together in large pot and add:
6 c. beef broth
2 chopped carrots
2 chopped celery stalks
2 chopped, peeled potaoes

Simmer until lentils and vegetables are all cooked (about 2 hours) adding water as it simmers.
After it is all cooked add:
1/4 c. fresh parsley or 2 T. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
a little nutmeg (about 1/2 tsp.)

Rating: My parents and Renee were over for dinner and we all agreed that it was super-duper good. See how much my dad is enjoying it!!!
