Lentil Soup - to try

 

LENTIL SOUP

Lots of requests for this recipe, it’s delicious

•1/2-lb rinsed lentils
•1/2-cup chopped onions
•1-carrot chopped
•1-celery stalk chopped
•1-medium red potato diced (opt)
•4-garlic cloves chopped
•1-quart of chicken or vegetable stock
•1-cup water
•1-tsp salt
•Extra virgin olive oil

In a large pot heat 1/4 cup of olive oil.  When it is shimmering add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, potatoes and sauté for about 5 minutes.

Add the stock, water and bring to a boil, lower to a low simmer stir in the lentils cover the pot cook for 10 minutes

Remove the lid, stir, and cook uncovered until the lentils are done. Make sure this is still on a low heat.

After 20 minutes check to see if the lentils are tender they do cook quickly about 20-30 minutes

Add salt to taste.

The longer you let this sit the thicker it will get. You can add more stock or water if reheating. I like it thick.
