Dinner tonight was Carrot Mushroom Red Lentil Soup from Be a Plant Based Woman Warrior, p.141, with Fat Free Basic Wheat Bread from the Zojirushi How to Enjoy Your Home Bakery Supreme Breadmaker.  As to the soup, it was delicious.  I especially liked the mushrooms.  It smelled really good while cooking, too.  The carrots could have used more time.  Megand put them in late.  I would rate the soup a 5 out of 5 and could eat it twice a month.

As to the bread, it was OK.  Very basic and kind of dry.  I like Brenda's bread much better.  Next time we'll try that.  This bread had no oil or applesauce in it, so that might be why it tasted so dry.  I would rate it a 3 out of 5.  Nevertheless, it was nice to have some bread to eat with the soup, which made the soup much better.
