Lentil Soup from My Mom.

I got this lentil soup recipe from my mom. It is WW Core Friendly. I do not know where she got it from.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 3  cups lentils, washed
• 10  cups water
• 2  tablespoons low-sodium instant chicken bouillon granules
• 1  onion, peeled and chopped
• 6  stalks celery, chopped
• 4  carrots, sliced
• 6  garlic cloves, chopped
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice
•  salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients except the last 3. Cover & bring to a boil. Stir and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 25 minutes more, stirring occasionally until lentils are soft and soup is thick. Add more water as needed. Add last 3 ingredients, stir. Reheat or freeze.
2. Suggestions: I usually use 16 ounces of lentils (2 cups). If you use more, you'll need to add more water during the cooking time. If not, it'll be too thick. I also adjust the celery and carrots. I like more carrots than I do celery, so I double the carrot and half the celery.
