This is a hearty, delicious soup loaded with veggies and heart healthy lentils! It's vegan and vegetarian and you can add whatever veggies you love!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
4 carrots, sliced
4 celery stalks, sliced
3 cups of potatoes, cut into bite sized chunks
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup green lentils
2 cups hearty greens, like kale or collards, chopped
2 cups diced tomatoes, drained
1-2 teaspoons salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh thyme or rosemary
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons cumin or oregano
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Instructions
Saute garlic, onion, and shallots in the oil.
Add the carrots and celery and saute for 5 minutes.
Add the spices and mix everything together.
Add the tomatoes.
Add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Saute 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth and the herbs and bring to a solid simmer.
Add the lentils and stir. Simmer 30 minutes until lentils and potatoes have softened.
Add greens and cook a few minutes until they wilt.
If the soup gets too thick (lentils will soak up a lot of liquid) add more vegetable broth.
Serve with steamed rice or quinoa.
