Recipe - Lentil And Corn Soup

1 md Onion, chopped
2 md Carrots, cut or sliced up
2 tablespoon Water, stock, or sherry for
Sauteing
7 cup Water
Three fourths cup Dried lentils
2 md Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh or frozen corn
1 small Sweet potato, minced
4 teaspoon Tamari or soy sauce
1 cup Cooked brown rice
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (I
Double this amount)

Corn and sweet potatoes give this soup a nice sweetness. It's adapted from
Mark Bricklin's _Lose Weight Naturally Cookbook_ (Rodale), which uses too
much meat and dairy for our purposes; this one, however, adapts well by
substituting for the oil in the saute. It also freezes and microwaves well
for brownbag lunches.

Saute the onion and carrots in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring
occasionally, until the onions are translucent.

Add water, lentils, tomatoes, corn, and sweet potato. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 min. Add the tamari, rice and parsley,
and heat through before serving.
