Lentil Soup

My basic veggie lentil soup recipe.  A good dish to make a big batch of have as a snack or a side dish.

Ingredients

• 6 cups water
• 6 chicken bullion squares
• 2 cups of lentils
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 head of celery
• 4-6 carrots
• 1 can crushed tomatoes
• 1 Tbsp ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp garlic

Directions

• Add everything to a large pot on the stove.
• Bring to a boil.  Simmer for 30-45 minutes on a low heat.  
• Pull out 3 cups of the soup and blend them.  Return blended mixture to the pot and stir.  

Extras:

• Small squares of smoked ham can be added to the soup to add some meat.
