8 cauliflower florets (small pieces of cauliflower)

Directions:
1. Cut into very tiny, lentil size pieces the first 6 ingredients: garlic, onion, carrots, celery, and ham (if using it)

2. In a stock pot (large pot), heat the oil on medium high heat, and then add all the items you've just cut.

3. Stir frequently while cutting mushrooms into tiny pieces.

4. After the vegetables (and ham) in the pot have begun to give off a lot of moisture (you'll see some liquid at the bottom of the pot as you stir; and carrots will be tender), add mushrooms.

5. Continue stirring for 2 more minutes.

6. Add vegetable stock and dried lentils and bring to a full boil (you'll big bubbles in the pot), reduce the heat to simmer (very low heat).

7. Stir occasionally until soup thickens and lentils are tender (approximately 20-40 min.).
