Directions: |
Directions:Coat a pot with olive oil. Chop the onion, peeled carrots and celery stalks. Add the vegetables to the pot and simmer until the onions become slightly translucent. In the meantime, thoroughly wash the lentils in a colander. Add the lentils to the pot along with 2 cups of water. Add some salt. Add the chicken bouillon and let simmer for 20-30 minutes on low heat. Add more water if you prefer a soup with more broth, or if the lentils have soaked up too much water and the carrots are not soft. Cook an additional 10 minutes on low heat. You can add additional salt to taste. |

Notes: This recipe was passed down from my mom who would make it for me as a child and then my kids. My oldest talks about nonna’s lentil soup all the time. Over the years I’ve added the chicken bouillon to add some salt and flavor but it can be made without as well. You can also substitute vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian/vegan dish. Mangia mangia!
PS so good they try and eat the plate! (See photo)
