Lentil Soup

When I made this soup I pureed spinach, eggplant, and onion together to mix into it. I think that might have been a little much, but boy did I feel great after eating it! Jam packed with nutrients.

Lentil Soup 

2 cloves garlic minced

1 medium onion chopped

2 large carrots chopped

2 stalks celery chopped

1 ½ cups red/ green lentils (your choice) well rinsed

2 quarts water or broth

pinch of thyme or any herbs of your choice 

combine first 6 ingredients and bring to a boil. Add seasonings. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, partly covered until lentils are soft. Green lentils need about 45 minutes to an hour, while red lentils only need 20-30 minutes. Puree half the soup in the blender if you want a creamy soup.
