Materials

  • 1 cup lentils dry
  • 1 quart vegetable broth low-sodium

  • 1/2 cup red bell peppers diced
  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsp oregano leaves dry
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
  • 1/2 tbsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 1 pint RW Knudsen Very Veggie Juice (Low Sodium)

Instructions

  • Wash lentils.* In a large stockpot, combine lentils and all ingredients except basil, thyme, and vegetable juice. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add remaining ingredients, adjust seasonings as desired, and simmer 15 more minutes.

Notes

* To wash lentils thoroughly, place them in a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Scoop up handfuls of the lentils and scrub them by rubbing your palms together. The water will likely turn a little dirty. Drain the water and refill with clean water. Swish lentils in water and drain.  Repeat until the water runs clear.
