Lentil Soup

Servings: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 shallots, finely chopped
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tsp. olive oil
3 cups water
1 cup dry green lentils
1 red potato, peeled and finely diced
1 large tomato, peeled and diced
1 small stalk celery, diced
1 small carrot, slivered
1/4 cup parsley, freshly chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Dry croutons or chopped chives

INSTRUCTIONS

In a deep soup pot, saute shallots and onions in heated oil. Add water and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, adding more water if needed to keep the three-cup level of liquid. Cook lentils until barely tender. Add all other vegetables and seasonings. Continue cooking at least 20 minutes longer. Fork-mash or puree mixture. Serve warm, garnished with croutons or chives.
