Delicious, Healthy Lentil Soup

My sweet friend, Lisa, shared this recipe with me. She is "eating clean" right now as a way to detox all of the junk food and has used this soup to help!

1 onion- chopped
2 carrots- diced
1 tbl. Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic- minced
2 bay leaves (if you don't want to buy a bunch of bay leaves you can buy them individually at Sprouts)
1/2 bag of dry lentils
Salt and pepper
Vegetable broth- use the large carton

In a large pot, put the carrots, onions, garlic and olive oil and cook for about 4 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and cover. Cook on low heat for about 45 minutes stirring occasionally.

*you may need to add more broth since the lentils soak up quite a bit. Feel free to add more veggies if desired!

Happy Fall!
