I had such a crazy weekend but enjoyed every minute of it! It was so nice to catch up with family and friends I haven’t seen in months. Where does the time go?!? I hope to see you all again very soon. Hopefully before 6 months goes by again.
I’ve had this bag of lentils in my cupboard for quite some time. There must have been a sale during the spring or something so I picked up on them. Not that they are expensive to begin with, but I’m cheap and love a good deal. 
I have a list of things I want to get done around the house tonight. So I thought what better way then to throw everything in the pot and keep myself busy while it cooks. And FINALLY use up some of these lentils. I made some modifications as I went along but the end result was delicious, wholesome, and filling. Next time I’m going to add vinegar at the end. I love vinegar in soups….especially split pea!

Saute garlic, celery, and carrots in a large pot for 3-4 min. Add vegetable broth, lentils, pepper, salt, thyme, cumin, basil, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover pot. Cook for about 50min or until lentils are soft. Remove bay leaves and Enjoy!

Hey Brooke! What a good idea, and fun to share : ) I love lentil soup but have never made it myself. Looks good though, I’ll have to try it out ! Did you see Julie & Julia? I didn’t read your other blogs yet so maybe you mention it. I’m reading it right now and have heard good things about the movie. I never give any time to cooking : ( Kudos to you!
Congrats on starting your blog. Love this soup and I am glad you liked the cookies:)
Thanks Maria! I have a few other ones bookmarked that you have made. Can’t wait to try them out.
I’m making this lentil soup right now and I’m so excited for it to be finished!!! I know what I’m bringing for lunch tomorrow
