"This is my favorite soup.{ NOT ME...Berta...} It came from a German Restaurant.
The Chef is Horst Manger." - Berta
3/4 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced celery
3 oz vegetable oil
3/4 cup flour
3 1/2 quarts water
1 cup dried lentils
3/4 cup diced potatoes
3 ounces bacon, cooked and well drained
2 tablespoons beef base
2 teaspoons salt
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon thyme
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground white pepper
Saute the carrots, onion and celery in the oil until the onion and celery are transparent.
Add flour stirring constantly. When flour is blended slowly add 3 1/2 quarts of water, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients.
At this point I put everything in to my crock pot and cover and cook it (on LOW) all day. If cooked on the stove it takes 3 hours.
We usually have it for dinner, with salad and good French bread.
Makes about 1 gallon of soup

plus, I got everything (except the white pepper, bay leaf, and nutmeg. I got nutmeg, just not crazy about it, too much).
