Countryside Lentil Soup

By Greywolf

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups water
• 5 cups broth of your choice (I use vegetable to keep it vegetarian)
• 1 (12-ounce) package dried lentils, washed and drained
• 3 carrots, finely chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a soup pot over medium heat, heat oil; saute onion and garlic 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 50 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Discard bay leaf before serving.
