I made this soup before I went to the cabin with my family. I thought it would be great for a quick lunch and my Mom and sisters are huge soup lovers! The flavor only got better over time. The soup was also a great way to clean out my fridge before I left for the week, so that nothing would be wasted. So you don't need to have all the veggies I had, just use what you have on hand. This recipes makes enough to probably feed 12 people or more. It's really filling with the lentils and tastes really meaty with the mushrooms.
