1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes with their juice

1 1/2 cups dried lentils, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup dry white wine (optional)
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley or 2 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese or soy mozzarella, grated
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and saute the onions, carrots, marjoram, and thyme for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes, broth and lentils.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer the soup for about 1 hour or until the lentils are tender.
