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.
  • Check the lentils for doneness—they should be tender but not mushy. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.
  • Make the Peach Ginger Chia Fresca: Combine all the ingredients together. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to expand, then stir again.
  • Serve the soup with cheese and crackers, and Peach Ginger Chia Fresca.
