The perfect lentil soup recipe?

Question

Who has it? Honestly, I love Progresso lentil soup and have tried tons of recipes but haven't found anything as good. I'd like to continue my search, but maybe with some input from the good people of Y!A instead of stabbing out blindly at whatever looks decent. I'm vegetarian, by the way, so no ham hocks or sausage.

P.S. If you're going to answer with "buy the canned stuff" then please don't bother. Thanks.

Rinse the beans and pick over looking for stones.
Cover with water and leave to soak overnight.
Saute 1 diced small onion, 1 diced carrot, 1 stalk celery diced in 3 Tablespoons olive oil. Saute until soft. Add lentils after you have drained the water and rinsed them again. cook for a minute or 2 and then add canned chicken stock or broth, ( I make my own) Add enough to cover beans. add 1 bay leaf, a pinch of dried thyme, and 1/2 can crushed tomatoes. about 1 1/2 cups. season with salt and pepper and cook until lentils are soft. About 1 hour. to this you may add some cook small pasta, but I think this is what you are looking for. This recipe is using a 1 pound bag of lentils.

1 bag lentils
Water
1 large onion, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
2-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp parsley
2 cans diced tomatoes
Red wine vinegar

Wash lentils and place in pot with water to cover about 1" over the top. Add onion, carrot, garlic, pepper and parsley. Mix well. Cook, covered, for one hour. Add tomatoes and a large amount of vinegar (I don't measure this, I just shake and shake until I think it's enough, but I can tell you it's a lot. If I don't add enough, it's kind of bland and dh won't eat it.). Cook for 30 more minutes. Serve with thick, crusty bread and a salad.

Of course, you can add celery, but I hate it, so I don't. I never use salt to cook with, but if you like it, add it at the beginning--I don't know how much, whatever you like. Enjoy!
