Easy Lentil Soup

2 lb. dried lentils
about 3 lb. pork neck bones
2-3 TBSP dried onion
1 qt. V8 juice
1 cup salsa
salt
black pepper
bay leaves

Soak lentils 6-8 hours in cool water. Boil neckbones til meat comes off bones. Remove bones( and give to your dog or something). Remove any undesirable fatty or stringy pieces of tissue (and give to your dog or chickens). Add lentils and all other ingredients to broth. Add more water or V8 juice to cover lentils. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for about 30 minutes or until lentils are tender.

**This makes about 1 gallon of soup for about $5. You may freeze in desirable portions for later use.**
