Mushroom and Lentil Soup
Ingredients
• 1 cup lentils, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (your choice)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
• In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for a few more minutes until they start to release their moisture.
• Pour in the lentils, vegetable or chicken broth, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the mushroom and lentil soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil.
