Lentil-Vegetable Soup

This soup is in regular rotation at our house, especially during the winter months when the choice of fresh vegetables is limited. The vegetables you add can be mixed and matched—I like the idea of adding a bit of thawed frozen vegetables to help round out the ingredients. To make this soup soy-free, omit the soy sauce and use a soy-free sauce (purchased or homemade or add some soy-free vegetable broth base or additional salt.
