1 pkg lentils rinsed
couple of tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lg onion
4 lg carrots
3 cloves garlic
bay leaf
herbes de provence to taste
italian seasoning to taste
salt to taste
3 cans del monte tomato sauce

    I love lentils. How talented you are to throw together such a good recipe when you don't feel well. I will write this down.

    Add a few dashes of good hot sauce to make it even better, or add salsa as a "garnish". I found I love adding a decent chunk of salsa to soups and stews now.

    I make a veg lentil soup very similar to this. The veg in mine varies depending to what is in the fridge.
