I threw this soup together the other night using only ingredients I had on hand. It was fabulous, fulfilling, and best of all, cheap to make. Serve with crusty bread and shredded cheddar on top.....and a glass of red wine and a movie! PS You can also add other vegetables to this soup: anything goes!!! Ingredients:
2 small onions, chopped |
5 celery ribs, chopped |
olive oil flavored cooking spray |
1 lb brown lentils |
8 cups vegetable broth |
1 cup water |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans tomatoes (any type-diced, stewed, whole, etc. is fine) |
salt and pepper |
grated cheddar cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Saute onions and celery in olive oil cooking spray until onions are translucent.
2. Add 1 lb brown lentils, vegetable broth, water and .the cans of tomatoes.
3. Cover and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are soft and celery is tender.
5. NOTE: I used 8 cups of broth plus one cup water for a thicker soup. If you desire a thinner soup, you may want to add an extra 2 cups of broth if desired.
