Crockpot Lentil and Parsley Soup

[Guest guest]

I bought some organic lentil soup in the chiller cabinet of my

favourite delicatessan and this was my attempt to re-create it in the

crockpot - you could equally well use red split lentils but I just

happened to have found yellow lentils in a Middle Eastern Store. The

measurements are rather a guesstimate - I have been inspired by

resding my latest purchase which is a Kundalini Yoga cookbook which

measures in handfuls and 2, 3 and 4 finger pinches. Planning to try

some recipes from that book over the weekend.
