Lentil soup

I have not experimented much with lentils, but if you are a vegetarian this super food can be replaced with meat. It has a high protein content and is recommended to consume if you have an iron efficiency. Some lentils require soaking the night before cooking. Lentils shouldn't be eaten raw and you shouldn't mix old lentils with fresh ones because they will cook unevenly. So now that you know a little bit about lentils here is a recipe from a coworker that made this recently.

2 cups of yellow lentils

One can of chicken broth

One can of tomato sauce

One medium raw onion

3-4 cloves of fresh Garlic

3-4 tea spoons of roasted cumin

2-3 table spoons of olive oil

2-3 tea spoons of Salt

Fresh carrots (optional)

Fresh celery (optional)

Mix all the above ingredients and bring the mix to a boil till all ingredients are cooked.

Pour the mix into a food processor and mix.

Add chicken broth as needed depending on the thickness of soup you like.
