Lentil Soup
Want to make a nutritious soup that is simple and delicious! Try this. It has only but a handful of ingredients but it is dull of flavor. It also a very economic option, all the ingredients you can buy at a very low cost to your wallet!
INSTRUCTIONS
​
With the uncooked Lentils, Remove any shriveled lentils, debris, or rocks. Thoroughly rinse under running water.
​
Place the cleaned lentils in saucepan and pour in the water. I like to Pour a 3 cups of water to 1 cup of uncooked lentils. I add water as they cook if I want more broth in my soup.Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will double or triple in size.
​
Add the garlic and your choice of seasoning if you would like, I use Johnny's Seasoning and Pepper( i don't have exact measurements yet, since i always forget to measure what i sprinkle) I usually sprinkle the salt and pepper a couple of shakes at a time until the broth tastes good to me. [I will add the measurements as soon as I record them ; ) ]

Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender. For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes
After the lentils are cooked through, not hard in the center I turn of the stove off and pour in the scallions, tomatoes and avocados. I let it sit for about 5 minutes then I serve.

I am not the greatest cook ; ) but I like to share yummy vegan meals I love. As you go through if you would like to tweak the recipe to your preference go ahead.
​
For example some like their tomatoes cooked longer, so then you can add them earlier into the recipe.
