Twas the night before payday, and all through the kitchen, not a meal was in sight, not even leftovers.

So I pulled this together with odds and ends. It was way better than I expected. You could probably sub in any veggies you have laying around, or any starch (rice or barley or pasta) instead of lentils and potatoes. That's what's so awesome about soup.

Note that I only had about a quarter cup of lentils to use and most of those sunk to the bottom. I'd have used a full cup if I had it, your soup will have more lentils than the picture shows.
