I don't know about everyone else, but we've been fighting colds in our house and they seem to be lingering...and lingering. The other night, I just wanted healthy tasting soup to sip but couldn't find a recipe that matched all the ingredients I had on hand. So, I threw one together, combining ideas from several recipes and I came up with a yummy red lentil soup...it was surprisingly good. Quantities are approximate..
2 tbl Olive Oil
4 carrots chopped
1 celery stalk chopped
1/2 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
Sautee carrots, onion, celery and garlic in oil, when onions become opaque add:
1/2 box chopped tomatoes (I use Pomi brand - quantity similar to one 14oz can probably)
1 large box Chicken broth
1 cup red lentils
Few shakes cumin
Dried parsley
Salt and Pepper
Bring to boil and simmer...the longer you simmer the thicker it becomes.
Top with shredded parm...because we top everything with parm.
