French Lentil and Carrot Soup image

It's crazy how just a few ingredients can make such a difference. Using finely chopped rotisserie chicken in this recipe makes it perfect for a busy weeknight meal, but you can leave it out if you prefer. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

LENTIL SOUP WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE

Lentil Soup With Herbes De Provence image

I love Herbes de Provence. They have such a wonderful distinctive flavor. I have tried almost every brand, and my absolute favorite is the Herbes de Provence sold by Williams Sonoma, in the little clay crocks. It has such a great flavor with an emphasis on lavender. If you want to make this vegetarian, omit the prosciutto, and use vegetable broth or water instead of the chicken broth. Add a little smoked paprika for the prosciutto's smokiness.
