Lentil Soup Magnifique

1 3/4 cups dry lentils, rinsed
6 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small zucchini chopped
1 large white potato chopped
1/4 cup dry sherry
salt and pepper to taste

sour cream and scallions for garnish

Rinse lentils in collander. In 3-4 quart crockpot, combine all ingredients (except garnishes). Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

This was excellent. It would very good with some chicken or sausage in it as well.
