I saw this recipe  while viewing The Duggars on television one evening.  Are you all familiar with  who the Duggars are?  You know…they are the nice homeschool  family with the 19 children.  Well anyway, we tried this recipe and it was very rich, decadent and impressive to look at.  The best part of this recipe is that it is so very easy.  You really feel like you are cheating because it is only mostly homemade….sort of.

24 Ice cream sandwiches

8 ounces cool whip

2 king size butterfinger candy bars chopped up

1 squeeze bottle Hershey chocolate syrup

One fall day our family received an invite to  lunch with a sweet homeschool family in our town.  My boys were excited to have an invite,  and I  looked forward to visiting and getting to know another homeschool family. I usually learn something new when I visit another family,  and come home inspired in some way.  This time, I was inspired to make the delicious soup that was prepared for us. I have been making it ever since.  I can’t believe I had never prepared or even eaten lentil soup before!  My family loves it now when I prepare it and even my hubby…who is not a big soup eater likes this one.  I think the cinnamon gives it the special unique flavor, and the potatoes and ground turkey make it very hearty. I hope you will enjoy this  soup as much as we have. ~Anne
