Ingredients




2 cups Lentils (any color), rinsed and drained
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 mediums Carrots, chopped
2 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium Zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 1/2 tsps summer savory
Black pepper
Dried garlic [I'm out of Fresh :-( ]
1 Bay leaf
5 cups Water (or use part broth if You want)

Preparation

1 Put everything in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30-40 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve over brown rice (or maybe potatoes). 2 Makes 4 reasonably sized servings. 3 The vegetables used were the ones I happened to have on hand. Vary to suit yourself. Leeks are great in this. If I want this to be more soup-like, I add more water and a can of tomatoes, pureed. I've also put potatoes in the pot with the rest of the veggies. The possibilities are endless...
