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
- 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.
- 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.
