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

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • 2 onions, diced

  • 1 carrot, chopped

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • ½ tsp marjoram

  • 3 cups of vegetable or chicken stock

  • 1 cup lentils (rinsed and drained)

  • 1 pinch salt

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

  • 1 (16 oz) can tomatoes

  • Optional: crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

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

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

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

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