French Lentil and Vegetable Soup
One of Bobbi Brown's winter staples, this hearty lentil soup—from theBarefoot Contessa Cookbook—gets its robust flavor from small, green French lentils. Also called Le Puy lentils, they are high in soluble fiber, a cholesterol fighter, and less starchy than common brown lentils.
