Photo: Sho Nutrition Evolution

Ingredients

2 cups Lentils (any color), rinsed and drained

1 medium Onion, chopped

2 mediums Carrots, chopped

2 stalk celery, chopped

1 medium Zucchini, quartered and sliced

1 1/2 tsps summer savory

Black pepper

Dried garlic [I'm out of Fresh :-( ]

1 Bay leaf

5 cups Water (or use part broth if You want)

Preparation

Put everything in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30-40 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve over brown rice (or maybe potatoes).

Makes 4 reasonably sized servings.

The vegetables used were the ones I happened to have on hand. Vary to suit yourself. Leeks are great in this. If I want this to be more soup-like, I add more water and a can of tomatoes, pureed. I've also put potatoes in the pot with the rest of the veggies. The possibilities are endless...
