This is one of my very favorite recipes ever. I know what you're thinking: "...Lentil soup?" You don't typically think of lentils, cheese and carrots as being a nice trio, but together with the marjoram you have a super savory, flavorful, unique, and hearty soup. Don't skip on the shredded cheddar.
