This is a favorite comfort food soup! This classic lentil soup is warm, hearty, and filling … and it’s even better the second day.

Serving Size: 2 Servings

Ingredients: 

  • 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • 2 onions, diced

  • 1 carrot, chopped

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • ½ tsp dried marjoram

  • 3 cups of vegetable or chicken stock

  • 1 cup lentils (rinsed and drained)

  • 1 pinch salt

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

  • 1 16-ounce can tomatoes

  • Optional: crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large soup pot and sauté the onions and carrot for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are softened. Add dried herbs and sauté 1 minute. 

Add stock, lentils, salt, parsley, and tomatoes and cook, covered, until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.

When it’s done, place in bowls and serve. 

Optional: when serving, put 2 tablespoons of goat cheese each in each bowl before adding the soup for a creamier version.
