This deliciously hearty and healthy soup is perfect for meal prep lunches. It's budget-friendly, super easy to make ahead of time, and packed with delicious flavor. A must-try!
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 full carrots
- 2 cups dry lentils
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 T. white distilled vinegar
- 8 cups water
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large pot and heat at medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the onions are transparent. During this time stir in garlic, oregano, and basil.
- Stir in lentils, then add in water and tomatoes. Reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes.
- When ready to serve, stir in the desired amount of vinegar (feel free to add more if needed!). If you want to pack in some more veggies, you can also add in thinly chopped spinach until it wilts. Might as well pack in some more nutrients if you have fresh spinach on hand.
