Ingredients
- 2 cups red lentils
- 10 fingerling potatoes halved
- 4 carrots sliced
- 2 leeks sliced thin (just the white part)
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 2 TB red wine vinegar
- 1 TB onion powder
- 1 TB garlic powder
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add sliced carrots and leeks to a large Dutch oven (or soup pot) on medium-low heat with a tablespoon of cooking oil and cook until veggies begin to soften.
- Add potatoes and tomatoes, stir a couple times to mix, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 40 minutes until lentils have softened and about half of the liquid has been absorbed. (If you prefer a more stew-like texture, you can allow to cook for another 20 minutes).
