Recipe: Smoky lentil soup

[Guest guest]

This is today's lunch, served with a green salad. I really need to find

a fat-free salad dressing that I like. Maybe that'll be my project today.

 

Smoky Lentil Soup

 

1 leek, chopped (white part only)

2 small carrots (or 1 medium), sliced

1 1/2 cups red lentils

1-2 Tablespoons roasted garlic (an average head of garlic yields 2T)

1/2 cup loosely packed chopped parsley

6 cups water

1-2 teaspoons salt, to taste

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

 

Combine all in a medium pot; bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer

30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water as necessary.
