EASY LENTIL SOUP RECIPE
1 pound green or brown lentils
2 onions chopped (about 3 cups)
2 leeks chopped (about 2 cups)
6 cloves of chopped garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
8 stalks of chopped celery about 3 cups
6 carrots chopped (about 3 cups)
1 bunch of collard greens stemmed and cut into ribbons
4 cups veggie broth
8 cups water
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
In a large stockpot on medium heat, sauté the onions, leeks, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are translucent and very tender.
Add the celery, carrots, and collards and sauté for 10 more minutes.
Add the chicken stock, water, tomato paste, and lentils. Cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, until the lentils are cooked through. Adjust the seasonings and finish with the sherry vinegar. Enjoy!
NOTES
This soup makes a large amount. Feel free to cut the recipe in half, if you aren’t wanting so much.
STORING LEFTOVERS
In the refrigerator: Once the soup has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze: Transfer cooled soup to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Be sure to leave some space at the top to account for expansion as the soup freezes. Then, label it with the date.
To reheat: When you’re ready to enjoy the frozen soup, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, you can reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave until it’s heated throughout.
