Lentil soup is a hearty and nutritious soup made with lentils, vegetables, and sometimes meat. The soup is often seasoned with herbs and spices such as cumin, coriander, and bay leaves, which lend it a warm and earthy flavor.
Lentil Soup
Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil
2 medium carrots
2 stalks of celery
1 large onion
1 Tablespoon granulated garlic
1 can of diced roasted tomatoes
2 cups dried lentils
6 cups chicken stock
Salt and pepper as needed
Method
In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sweat the vegetables until they begin to change color and soften.
Add the granulated garlic, salt, pepper, and the can of tomatoes, stirring well until fragrant.
Add the lentils, stir well, and then add the chicken stock
Turn the heat to medium-high, and bring the mixture to a boil
Once it has started to boil, turn the heat to simmer and cover for an hour, being sure to stir every now and then
Once the soup has reached the desired thickness and the lentils have amalgamated, season with a bit more salt and pepper and serve
