Vegetable Lentil Soup

Yummy Vegetable/lentil soup
I just made this up on the fly. The numbers under the ingredients are in this order...
Cals, carbs, fat, protein, fiber, and sodium. Oh and the stats are for the whole meal, it makes a pretty big pot.

I used everything low-sodium that i could find, and then added sea salt when it was cooking.
I just at a good bit of it for lunch, it filled me up real good for just a few calories.
Hope you enjoy it!

Various spices - fresh cilantro (not to much! only a few pinches or less), garlic cloves (to taste) a little basil, some thyme, and canned hot peppers, chopped. Really, i just added what ever sounded good.


Sauté the onion and pepper in the EVOO first then, put the carrots in the Chicken broth first (skip this if you use canned carrots) and bring to a boil. Add the rest of the ingredients except the lentils and let simmer for about 30-45 mins. Add lentils and let cook for at least 20 mins.

Hmm, I'll have to save this for later. I love to try new soups. Thanks. Did you add this to MFP's food database, and if so, under what name?
