Easy Lentil Soup

Lentils pack great nutritional value & many health benefits... great for you & the whole family!

Store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. An additional tip: when my daughter was a baby, I stored lentil soup in mini glass containers in the freezer.. why?? Who has time to make something healthy 24/7 & it's a better option then store bought baby food. Below is my mom's recipe.

RECIPE:

2 Roma Tomatoes

1/4 chopped onion

1 minced garlic clove

1 cup of Dry Lentils

1 1/2 Tb of Salt 

Chop all ingredients...

Saute Garlic & Onion (2 mins.)

Add in chopped tomato & cook down until simmers..

Smash everything down with a potato smasher... Season with salt & add lentils..

Fill your pot 3/4 the way up.. Remember Lentils expand & absorb water..

Cook for 45 mins. on a low simmer..

Taste & maybe adjust seasonings.. add a splash of Lime juice!

ENJOY!
