please post your best soup recipes
FH isn't feeling well, I want to make him some soup but besides matzah ball soup mix, I've never made soup before! I'm down for any kind of soup as long as it's not cream based (we're lactards). TIA!

1 cup lentils
1 1/3 quarts water, divided
2/3 cup uncooked long grain white rice

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs
salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
1 quart tomato sauce
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place lentils in a pot with 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Bring rice and 1 1/3 cup water to boil in a pot. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
