I love making lentil soup
mine is pretty simple. throw the following in a big pot and simmer for 55 minutes
5 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
1.5 cups of green lentils
1 cup of brown rice
4 roma tomatoes chopped up
3 carrots - chopped
1 white onion - chopped
one package of sliced white mushrooms
TB or 2 of minced garlic
three stalks of celery - chopped
1 chicken sausage link - cut into small pieces
.5 ts basil
.5 ts oregano
.5 ts thyme
1 bay leaf
3 TB parsley
.25 ts sage
TB or 2 of dried morel mushrooms - crumbled (you can leave these out. I think they might be really expensive in the store. My mom is a serious mushroom hunter, so I always have these on hand and I'm always trying to figure out how to add them to different dishes.)
after it's done cooking, add another cup of chicken broth, salt and pepper and a TB of apple cider vinegar.
SOOOOOO good
