As some of you know, I went to a soup-focused charter school growing up. Like most kids, we had our annual science fair, which was my favorite event of the year. One friend made a volcano out of mung beans – it exploded when they came to a simmer. Another friend made a black bean operated radio. I liked to bend the rules a little. I wanted to make a chunky style soup that had pureed components to it. I know – a little advanced for an 8 year old. So I cooked onion along with some of my favorite spices – dill, basil, sage, and thyme, and I added zucchini. Then, I pureed it all together!! My friend Wanda was like – you are going to get in sooooooo much trouble. But I was on a roll. Only then did I add the red lentils! The result? Awesomeness. Soup-science-fair awesomeness. When it came time to judging, my Homesoup teacher, Mrs. Stock, yelled “Violation! Violation! You used cream!!” I replied, “No! No, Mrs. Stock, you are tasting the pureed veggie and herb mixture I used! Oh, please, Mrs. Stock! You gotta believe me! You just gotta!” She looked at my ingredient list, retasted the soup, and walked away. Later on I found a first place sticker on on my soup pot. Proudest moment of my life.
Ingredients (in no particular order): red lentils, zucchini, dill, basil, sage, thyme, olive oil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, homemade vegetable stock goodness

I thought the First Pace Zucchini Lentil is a First Place soup! Great consistency. Great flavor. I loved it.
I think this was your best soup ever. The flavor was so bold, I keep going back and reading the list of ingredients to see what I’m tasting. Please make this one again!
This soup is oh-so-delicious and healthy. I only wish I had ordered a quart!
This was absolute heaven!
Loved it, loved it, loved it. Lentils didn’t look red though. Not sure what made it so good, but I really enjoyed it.
I was a little disappointed when I didn’t see any red lentils. But, I had just gotten my delivery and it was what I was having for dinner. So, despite the lack of visible red lentils, I heated up my soup and WOW. I forgot all about whether the lentils were red or not. This soup is seriously delicious. This is a great soup. I can’t wait to have more for dinner tonight.
Thanks for this great soup and for not making eating healthy so bland.
Once again, this is a most outstanding soup! So delicious! It is my most favorite soup, and not just of Soupegirl’s! I had a French Onion soup my neighbor’s son made the other night which had the best cheese melted on it and freshly baked bread in it and I thought WOW – that was so delicious; however, these lentils alone beat out the onions, perfect cheese for onion soup & the freshly baked bread he did for it. Thanks again.
