3 cups green lentils

12 cups water

1 Vegetable Bouillon

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 large onion, diced

3 large carrots, diced

4 celery ribs, diced

3 Bay leaves

2–4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional)

sea salt, to taste

 

1. Rinse lentils thoroughly and place in large stockpot with water.

 

2. Bring to a boil and skim the foam. Reduce heat, add Vegetable Bouillon and Bay leaves and simmer for 1 hour.

 

3. In a large frying pan, heat the canola oil and sauté the diced onion. When the onions are soft, add the diced carrots and diced celery and continue cooking until the carrots and the celery are slightly soft.
