Lentils may be small, but this member of the legume family is nutritionally mighty.  They are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber and provide good to excellent amounts of seven important minerals, our B-vitamins and protein—with nearly no fat. Increasing consumption of plant foods like lentils decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, while promoting a healthy complexion and hair, increased energy, and overall lower weight.  Lentils are very easy to prepare and versatile.  Click here to learn more.

Vegan Lentil Soup

  • 1 Onion (chopped)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 2 Medium Carrots (chopped)
  • 1 cup Dried Lentils
  • 4 cups Vegetable Stock/Broth
  1. Add the onion to a pot with the olive oil and cumin.  Sauté until slightly softened.
  2. Add the carrots, lentils and vegetable stock.  Stir until combined.
  3. Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to simmer.  Cover the pot and cook until the lentils are soft.
  4. Remove from heat.  Using an immersion blender, blend directly in the pot.  If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer to a standard blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Spoon into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper.
