Lentil Soup (recipe)

Might seem like an odd one to kick off summer with but i wanted to bring this back from the depths of my old blog. Soup is a super easy way to get lots of veggies in your body without even knowing it and also a great way to use things up.

1 large onion chopped 

1 lb. carrots chopped 

3 or 4 stalks celery chopped 

2 cloves garlic chopped 

1 bag split lentils (red) 

4 to 6 cups of veggie stock 

1 tsp cumin 

Salt & pepper to taste 

• Sauté onion, carrots, and celery in 2 tbsp olive oil until onions become translucent . 
• Add garlic and cumin and cook for 2 minutes . 
• Add lentils and cook until coated with oil and glistening. ( about 1 minute). 
• Add enough stock to cover lentils and veggies. 
• Bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer until veggies are fork tender. ( you may have to add more stock if lentils expand a lot). 
• Taste and add salt and pepper and other spices if desired. 
• Blend with stick blender or mixer and serve!
