Smoky Sage Lentil Soup

[Guest guest]

I'm a huge fan of lentils. Not only are lentils very tasty, but they

are also extremely healthy for you, being very high in dietary fiber,

protein, iron, and folate.

 

Not too long ago in this group, Mary posted her recipe for a Lentil

Sage Soup. Since sage is one of my favorite herbs to cook with, I

knew right away this would be a fantastic recipe. This is my

variation on it, and I've made a few slight changes. The liquid smoke

added at the end gives a wonderful flavor to this rich soup, and

complements the fresh sage perfectly. View the finished soup at

Smoky Sage Lentil Soup

2 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 c chopped vidalia onion

1 c chopped celery

1 c chopped carrots

3 cloves garlic

1/4 c fresh sage leaves, minced

2 (14.5 oz) cans vegetable broth

4 c water

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

1 (16 oz) bag lentils, washed

1 bay leaf

2 1/2 tsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp liquid smoke

 

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add onion,

celery, and carrots, and saute 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and

sage, and saute an additional 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients,

and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to

an hour, until lentils are tender. Stir in liquid smoke and remove

from heat. Serve with a thick crusty bread.

 

Enjoy!

Now listen to this baby

This is the year of the guru

Now the thing to do is to ask yourself

What can a guru do for me?

Then you say to yourself

I gotta get a guru
