Triple Lentil Soup |
Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup black lentils
1/3 cup red lentils
1/2 cup brown lentils
7 oz can diced tomato
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot. Add the diced onion and let it brown for 7-10 minutes. You want the onion to soften and turn translucent. Then add the chopped carrot and minced garlic to the onions and cook those for about 5 minutes.
Next, add the broth, lentils, tomatoes, and spices (thyme, oregano, coriander, black pepper, and bay leaf) let it simmer for 45 minutes until the flavors are well developed and all the lentils are cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve alongside a salad and fresh bread.
