Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 3 cups lentils, washed
• 10 cups water
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium instant chicken bouillon granules
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 6 stalks celery, chopped
• 4 carrots, sliced
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt & pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 combine all ingredients except the last 3. cover & bring to a boil. stir and reduce heat to simmer. cook for 25 minutes more, stirring occasionally until lentils are soft and soup is thick. add more water as needed. add last 3 ingredients, stir. reheat or freeze.
• 2 suggestions: i usually use 16 ounces of lentils (2 cups). if you use more, you'll need to add more water during the cooking time. if not, it'll be too thick. i also adjust the celery and carrots. i like more carrots than i do celery, so i double the carrot and half the celery.
