Ingredients:
1/3 cup chopped peeled parsnip
1/3 cup diced peeled potato
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped leek (white portion only)
1/4 cup chopped carrot
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) vegetable broth
1 cup no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1/3 cup dried lentils, rinsed
1/4 cup dry red wine or additional vegetable broth
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
