Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Heat a pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Sauté the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until they start to soften.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomato, thyme, and lentils. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are soft and the soup builds flavor.
