My Favorite Lentil Soup

I love lentil soups and have many recipes dedicated to lentils. This is my favorite lentil soup recipe. It's pretty simple, but it always hits the spot. This is a thick soup, and one of my favorite ways to eat it is from a small bowl using red pepper strips instead of a spoon.1 large chopped onion1 cup chopped carrots2 large cloves minced garlic6 cups soup stock (chicken, beef or vegetable)2
