Lentils were eaten long before Rome was founded; it is generally
thought that the pottage for which Esau sold his birthright to Jacob
(Genesis 25) was a stew of lentils. Sidney Taylor offers a better
deal; you can have his recipe for lentils and keep your birthright.
And we may assume that his lentil bisque is smoother. Jacob had no
blender.
=======================================================
============== ====
In an 8-10 quart pan, combine broth, celery, carrots, chopped onions,
bell pepper, zucchini, and lentils. Bring to a boil over high heat,
then cover and simmer until lentils are very soft to bite, 50-55
minutes.
Whirl mixture, a portion at a time, in a blender or food processor
until smooth. Return to pan and stir in dry sherry and cream sherry.
(If made ahead, or if there are no leftovers, cover and chill up to 4
days; or freeze in 2- or 3-serving portions.) Heat until steaming and
ladle onto bowls. Add green onion, sour cream, and salt and pepper to
taste.

Dieting made easy
If you enjoy your food, but need to get thinner and also boost your all round physical condition, then, as any dietician will tell you, you should commence a carefully configured well-balanced dietary regime. If possible, this ought to contain 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables a day and also embrace the optimum mixture of fats, carbs and proteins.
When devising a weight loss program, it is important to also make efforts to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.
When people first start dieting, they ordinarily look at retail store and well known food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, given that a food product might be reduced in fat content, but also elavated in carbs.
Keep yourself hydrated. At times when going through a hectic work day, you believe that you want a snack but really you might only need a healthy tumbler of water or orange squash. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are quite alike, but one can result in bad health and one is fine.
Instead of concentrating on those junk foods that you really should remove from your weight loss program, look at the "good" foods which you should add to your meal plan. If you bring in some healthy fruit/vegetables into your weight loss program, you will be delighted to find that you feel more satisfied and have a much decreased risk of being tempted by those unwholesome afternoon candies.
