--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           Red lentils
   1      cup           Brown lentils
   6      cups          Water
   3                    Knorr Veg. Cubes
     1/2  small         Onion -- diced
   1                    Carrot -- diced
   1                    Rib celery -- diced
     1/8  teaspoon      Celery seed
   3      tablespoons   Dried potato buds*
   1      large         Potato -- diced
   2      tablespoons   Olive oil
   2                    Bay leaves
   2      teaspoons     Red wine vinegar (Optional)

Mix all ingredients except the vinegar in a soup pot and cook until the lentils are very 
soft, about one hour. Stir in vinegar at the end, and serve.  NOTE:  Brought soup to
 boil, turned down and simmered uncovered 45 min. If using homemade veg. stock,
 add salt to taste.  *If thinner soup is desired, omit potato buds, or use lesser amount. 
 Used 3 quart sauce pan.
