Thanks to everyone who made it over for Hanukkah dinner last night! Special thanks to Eli, latke-maker extraordinaire.

Here's the recipe for Lentil Soup:

2 tbsp. oil
2-3 medium onions, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3/4 tsp. dried marjoram
3/4 tsp. dried thyme
1-28 oz. can tomatoes with juice, coarsely chopped (or pre-diced)
7 c. vegetable broth (I just use bouillon cubes)
1 1/2 c. dried lentils
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
6 oz. dry white wine
1/3 c. fresh parsley or 2 tbsp. dried

Heat oil in large saucepan. Sautee onions, carrots, marjoram and thyme, stirring vegetables approximately 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes, broth and lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover pan. Simmer soup about one hour or until lentils are tender. Add salt, pepper, wine and parsley. Simmer a few more minutes.
