A great, heart healthy and nose clearing meal. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 medium yellow onion, chopped |
1 medium carrot, chopped |
1 small red bell pepper, chopped |
1 jalapeno pepper, diced |
7 garlic cloves, sliced |
6 cups of water |
2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock |
1 cup dried brown lentils |
28 oz crushed tomatoes, undrained |
2 bay leaves |
1 tbsp chipotle chili powder |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion, cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in carrot, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook 4 minutes more.
4. Add water, stock, lentils, tomatoes, and bay leaves.
5. Bring to a boil over high heat.
6. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 18-20 minutes until the lentils and veggies are tender.
7. If you prefer a heartier texture to your soup, let it simmer for another 20 minutes or so to cook off some of the liquid.
8. Season to taste with the chili powder and a few twists of fresh ground pepper.
