Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 sweet onion chopped (about 2 cups, large
- 1 cup carrot sliced
- 1 cup celery sliced
- 3-5 cloves garlic minced
- 8 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 15 ounce fire-roasted tomatoes canned
- 2 cups red lentils dried
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- salt
- black pepper
- parsley parmesan cheese, garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Chop all the vegetables for the soup.
- Set a large 6-8 quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the oil to the pot. Once hot, add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. And sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onions are soft.
- Add the vegetable broth, canned tomatoes, dried lentils, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to make sure the lentils don't stick together.
- Bring to a boil, then lower the heat if needed and simmer the soup for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can partially cover the pot while cooking for less splatter.
- The soup is ready when the lentils are soft and the base has thickened. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
- Cool the soup completely before transferring to an airtight container, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- To Freeze: Cool the soup and transfer it to an airtight container. I suggest wrapping the container in a layer of aluminum foil for extra protection from freezer burn. Then store lentil soup in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
